PORTLAND — Portland
will soon house the North-
west’s fi rst Ritz-Carlton
hotel.
Marriott
International
made the announcement
Thursday. The hotel will
be built in place of Port-
land’s largest food cart pod at
Southwest 10th Avenue and
Alder Street, which has occu-
pied the area since the 1990s.
“This landmark project
is a game changer for The
Ritz-Carlton brand and the
city of Portland,” said Noah
Silverman, chief develop-
ment offi cer with Marri-
ott International, in a news
release.
The 35-story building will
include 251 hotel rooms and
138 residential units, includ-
ing eight penthouses. It will
also include restaurant, retail
and offi ce spaces.
The luxury hotel and res-
idences will offer a fi tness
center, full-service spa and
swimming pool for guests.
Portland’s BPM Real
Estate is the developer for
the building.

JOSEPH — Artist Doug Hyde
will fi nish installing the latest bronze
statue on Main Street today in the
Eastern Oregon city of Joseph. The
road has become a showcase for the
bronze foundries dotting Wallowa
County. But while many of those
statues feature Native American sub-
jects, Hyde is the fi rst Native artist to
contribute. Hyde draws on Nez Perce,
Assiniboine and Chippewa traditions
for his work.
“It’s an honor, fi rst of all,” Hyde
told OPB’s “Think Out Loud.” “I
think the town having all these sculp-
tures is beautiful.”
The work was commissioned by
the Josephy Center for Arts and Cul-
ture and funded by grant money from
the Oregon Community Foundation.
Jurors from three reservations —
Colville in Washington, Nez Perce
in Idaho, and Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla in Oregon — settled on
Hyde’s design.
The
sculpture,
entitled
“etweyé·wise” (literally, “I return
from a hard journey”), has both
abstract and realistic elements. Hyde
created a 100-inch red granite form
with a cutout silhouette of a woman,
representing the Nez Perce’s forced
removal from their home valley. A
bronze fi gure of that same woman
represents those who remained
and returned.
Hyde was born in Hermiston
and grew up in Lapwai, Idaho. He
attended art school in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, and remains in the South-
west, living in Prescott, Arizona.
“The fact a Native gets to do a
piece here,” Hyde said, “maybe it’s
the beginning of other things that can
happen — maybe more things writ-
ten in the Nez Perce language that
people will gradually learn — simple
things like a greeting or signage indi-
cating both English and Nez Perce
place names.
“Bringing back a little Nez Perce
culture to the valley is wonderful,”
Hyde added.
The Josephy Center will host a
celebration of the work at 2 p.m.
today. Tribal members are specifi -
cally invited, but the center said all
are welcome.
