Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards recognize individuals, businesses and organizations for outstanding efforts on behalf of Oregon heritage, drawing public attention to these efforts, raising the quality of heritage-oriented activities, and making the most of available resources and skills, according to its website. Special consideration is given to the devel- opment of new ideas, approaches and innovations. The Tribe was honored for its 20-year quest to have Tribal arti- facts from the Summers Collection, housed for 118 years in a ware- house outside of London by the British Museum, returned. Those efforts culminated in a long-term loan of 16 of the arti- facts, which arrived in May 2018 and were housed at the Chachalu Museum & Cultural Center in the exhibition, “Rise of the Collectors.” The artifacts will be returning to the British Museum on May 23. Awards were presented on Thursday, April 25, at the Oregon Heritage Summit in Medford by Heritage Programs of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which houses the Oregon Heritage Commission and the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. The Excellence Awards have been given annually since 2007 and in- clude individuals, businesses, gov- ernment entities and nonprofits.
