WASHINGTON COUNTY GROUPS HOST OREGON COUNTRY EXHIBITS

The Washington County Museum, the Hillsboro Public Library and the
Beaverton Public Library have begun exhibiting the "Oregon is Indian
Country" exhibits. Each one of the three exhibits explores a different
topic in Native American history-the museum will present “Traditions
that Bind,” an investigation of the cultural heritage of Oregon’s
tribes, including their oral traditions, material culture, art, and
traditional lifeways.
 
Exhibits on Native American history will be accompanied by special
additions to the museum’s monthly events. At the museum’s free
Family Day in December, Oregon Historical Society Tradition Bearer
Brigette Whipple will host a display of Native American beaded horse
regalia with a beading activity designed especially for kids. David
Lewis, a tribal member and cultural
resources manager of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde will be
the speaker at the December installment of the museum’s Crossroads
Lecture series.

All three sections will be displayed until Jan. 3.
