Richard Macy talks with guest Pete Carlson at the opening of the exhibit at the Art Adventure
Gallery in Madras.
R ichard Macy first began draw-
ing years ago, as a very young child.
“I don’t remember when I
started—it’s been forever,” Mr.
Macy says.
If you visit the Warm Springs
Clinic, you see on the hallway wall
portraits of past tribal members—
Yah-We-Wa (Charlie Wewa), Ka-Po-
Le (Jim Wallulatum), Mus-Tal-Liks
(Paul Queahpama). These are ex-
amples of Mr. Macy’s work. More
recently, the Art Adventure Gallery
in Madras is featuring paintings
and drawings by the artist.
The gallery exhibit is also fea-
turing photographs by Edward
Heath.
This is Mr. Heath’s second
show at the gallery.
He first began taking photo-
graphs around the reservation in
2014. The images proved popu-
lar on the social media platforms,
leading to Mr. Heath’s first pho-
tography show at the Museum at
Warm Springs, An Eye for the Rez.
Some of the works by
Richard Macy on display at
the Art Adventure Gallery.
He then had a show at the Art
Adventure Gallery in 2016.
You can see his work on
Facebook at the Edward Heath
Photography page. Or stop by the

Welcome Home, Vietnam Veterans
Jayson Smith photos
I would like to give a great thanks
to the wonderful and kind people of
Warm Springs who invited the Viet-
nam Vets of Central Oregon to par-
ticipate in the Parade and Expo, April
28.
I have attended this event for the
past three years and continually mar-
vel at the thoughtfulness and spirit
of our hosts.
To say the Vietnam Vets of
America have issues concerning the
War is a vast understatement. The
men and women who were part of

The Museum at Warm
Springs exhibit Twanat—
Celebrating Our Legacy—is
on display for the next couple
of weeks.
This in-house exhibit fea-
tures artifact and archival
items from the museum’s
permanent collection. There
are rare baskets, regalia,
corn-husk woven bags, bead
work and historical photo-
graphs.
Some other events com-
ing up at the museum:
This Friday, May 11, is the
Seeds of Discovery Sci-
ence Field Day. This day
is for local fourth-grade
students, supported by Or-
egon State University and
NASA.
Coming up early next
month is the opening of Pa-
triot Nations. This is a
banner exhibit from the Na-
tional Museum of the Ameri-
can Indian in Washington,
D.C.
the war effort experienced unimaginable
events in their lives.
We seldom received a proper welcome
home when we returned from the war. I
for one was spit on at the airport and called
a ‘baby killer.’ But events such as the Pa-
rade and Honoring the Vietnam Vets in
Warm Springs continues to help heal, and
allows all of us to feel better about our
communities and ourselves.
I cannot tell the community of Warm
Springs how heart-felt your celebration
meant to all who attended.
Bravo Zulu.
