A6 News wallowa.com Maxville story continues to connect nationwide By Kathleen Ellyn Wallowa County Chieftain Gwen Trice, director of Maxville Heritage Inter- pretive Center has returned from a trip to Washington D.C., where she fulfi lled the poster presentation compo- nent of her training to be a certifi ed interpreter through the National Association for Interpretation. But that was the least of the work she did there. “What we do continues to make connections, over and over again,” Trice said. “Each night of the confer- ence there was a reception in a different major museum and another opportunity to net- work with people from across the nation. There were 551 attendees. Some of these peo- ple have been doing this work for years and years.” The most important learn- ing opportunity for Trice was instruction and experience in interpreting “diffi cult his- tory.” The story of people of color in Oregon can be diffi - cult history to tell –– particu- larly when one wants to share it in a way that honors the his- tory of all Oregon’s commu- nities, Trice said. But she apparently did a good job on her fi rst try. Once her presentation was com- pleted, other presenters who wanted to know more about Maxville and talk about pre- senting diffi cult history sur- rounded Trice. As a result of the experi- ence and what she learned about how others made dif- fi cult cultural presentations, What we do continues to make connections, over and over again.” — Gwen Trice Director of the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center Trice decided to get even more training and is plan- ning on attending the associa- tion’s conference Nov. 14-18 in Spokane as well. “I’ll be going to the Native American presentations to hear how they are presenting diffi cult history,” Trice said. “I’ll hear about how visitors can communicate, participate and interact.” Candy (nee Boswell) and David Casteal have invited Trice to stay with them for the conference. David Casteal has played “YORK” (the story of the black guide on the Voyage of Discovery) twice in Enterprise –– and wants to come again. Originally, Trice had planned to go to the NIA pre- sentation in Spokane rather than the D.C. conference due to a shortage of funds. But while traveling with the Smithsonian’s “A Place for All People” poster display, she met people involved in historical preservation at Blue Mountain Community Col- lege in Pendleton. Soon, the people she con- nected with had secured travel miles for the fl ight to D.C. and housing for nine days, including days before and after the event, at the his- toric Truman Hotel in D.C. “The connections I made throughout this experience were amazing,” Trice said. “We’re getting to a place with the Interpretive Center where we need some national support. “Our story is a national story. We’re loved and respected by local support- ers, but we’re building a leg- acy project – building for the next generation.” Trice spent 13 hours in the new Smithsonian National African American Museum of History and Culture, where Maxville is also featured, see- ing how history and culture were presented there. “It’s such a powerful American narrative through the African-American lens that I never had, ever,” Trice said. Maxville Heritage Inter- pretive Center is at 103 N. Main Street in Joseph.
