Pendleton council bans Sundown decorations By ANTONIO SIERRA East Oregonian The bronze of Jackson Sundown will be decorated no more. The council unanimously approved banning decorating all public statues in the city, in- cluding Sundown, prompting tribal members in the audience to applaud at a meeting Tues- day. After the bronze was moved to Main Street over the sum- mer, Pendleton resident Pamela Harmon decorated the statue to correspond with various holi- days. When her husband was al- legedly attacked after getting into a confrontation over the decorations, Harmon gathered a 29-signature petition to allow the bronze to be adorned. Since that time, people mostly from the American Indian community have gath- ered 156 signature to oppose the statue’s decorations. The decorations also drew the op- position of the tribal executive committee for the Nez Perce Tribe, of which Sundown was a member. Staff photo by E.J. Harris While many council mem- bers seemed to show initial support toward the decora- tions, many came to regret their position after the response from the tribal community. Councilman Chuck Wood said he was “embarrassed” by his original support and now thought decorating the statue was in violation of the nui- sance ordinance. While originally not listed as an action item on the agen- da, it was Wood who requested the council vote on the issue. Mayor Phillip Houk of- fered his empathy to the Sun- down descendent’s who were offended by the decorations. “I think about if there was a bronze of my father, my grandfather, would I want that happening?” he said. “And quite frankly, I would not.” J.J. Bell, one of the orga- nizers of the petition, said he expected he and the other peti- tioners would have to ¿ght the council to approve the ban. Bell said he was grateful for the council’s understand- ing and was proud to call Pendleton his hometown. In other statue news, the council also approved a $5,000 donation from Union Paci¿c Railroad Co. for the Kathleen McClintock bronze, which will be erect- ed in the 200 block of South Main Street, directly across from the George Fletcher statue.
