Artist Needed: Historical Marker Sign Project
The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI)
is searching for a Native American graphic to use on a new tsunami warn
ing sign. DOGAMI is hopeful that an artist from one of the Oregon coast
Tribes could create a simple, dramatic scene that depicts:
H A place of habitation (plank housevillage)
People running away from the beach
B An approaching tsunami wave
A brief narrative on the sign will explain that tsunamis have happened
in the past; that Native peoples experienced those events; and that tsu
nami and flood events are substantiated by oral traditions and by evi
dence of them in coastal archeological sites. For more information, please
contact George R. Priest, Ph.D., DOGAMI Coastal Field Office, 313 SW
2nd Suite D, Newport, Oregon 97365. Phone at 541-574-6642 or email
george.prieststate.or.us.
