Twanat: Celebrating Our Legacy
Museum curator
Natalie Kirk made
excellent use of the
museum’s permanent
collection to create
the Twanat: Cel-
ebrating Our Legacy
exhibit. There are
panels giving the
history of the
museum itself, plus a
beautiful and large
display of beaded
bags, woven bags,
regalia, dolls and other items from
the permanent collection. Natalie
wishes to thank the Potlatch
Fund for their support of this
exhibit.
