"By Hand Through Memory"-continued from page 3 Geographically, the collection represents the native cultures of the Columbia River Plateau, the Pacific Northwest coast, as well as those of the Great Basin, Plains and Southwest. It consists of highly decorated artifacts from both the pre- and post reservation eras, many of which have significant historical value. The full collection contains over 7,000 objects, including some 300 baskets, 250 beaded bags, 125 cornhusk bags and 90 rugs and blankets, plus numerous dolls, costumes, horse trappings, household goods, jewelry, pipes, weapons, and large library of books, articles and photographs. A full appreciation of the collection and the story it tells will unfold through ten general exhibit sections. 1) Resistance and Reality will introduce the main concept of the exhibit and describe the ways Columbia River Plateau Indians first responded to the shock of reservation confinement. 2) Indians and Images describes how Indian resistance added to existing stereotypes and how these images affected federal policy makers who wrote the Dawes Severalty Act in 1887. 3) Spiritual Power in Plateau Life identifies spiritualism as the key element in Indian identity and describes the ways it is manifested in everyday life. 4) Changes and Land establishes the link of spiritualism and the landscape and illustrates how Indians modified their relation to the land in the face of twentieth-century realities. 5) Trade and Social Exchange charts the ways Columbia River Plateau peoples accommodated modern consumer culture and established new social relations with communities outside reservations. 6) Sacred Star Woman describes the role of Doris Swayze Bounds, who began collecting Plateau artifacts at the time when Indians were establishing new outside relationships. 7) Family and Reservation Community tells how Indian families on the reservations have served as the main sanctuaries of memory. They were and are the means of passing identity from generation to generation. 8) Politics and Empowerment discusses the ways that Plateau Indians who were educated under the Dawes Act used their knowledge to fight for legal and political recognition of Indian identity. 9) Prevailing Traditions in Artistry looks at how Indian artists combined old and new forms as a means of cultural enrichment. 10) Computer age Indians, the final theme, explores the ways contemporary Columbia Plateau Indians are using modern technology to strengthen and preserve their heritage. The Henry J. Casey Hall of Plateau Indians was designed by architects Thomas Hacker and Associates and built by S. M. Andersen, Inc., both of Portland. The new hall and By Hand Through Memory are supported by generous contributions from Gretchen Brooks, the late Henry J. Casey, the Gerry B. & Marilyn Cameron Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Kresge Foundations, Meyer Memorial Trust, Kate & Jack Mills, and hundreds of other individuals, corporations and foundations. Special acknowledgment is given to the late Doris Swayze Bounds and Roger J. Bounds Foundations of Hermiston, Oregon, for the gift of the Bounds Collections in 1990. The High Desert Museum interprets the natural and cultural history of the eight-state Intermountain West. It was founded in 1974 and opened to the public in 1982.
