Pittock Mansion opens
8This IS Kalapuyan Land9
Through most of July, visitors at
Pittock Mansion will not only see
panoramic views and early-20th
century architecture, they also will
see the <This IS Kalapuyan Land at
Pittock Mansion= exhibition curat-
ed by Grand Ronde Tribal member
and artist Steph Littlebird.
The exhibit features historical
panels sharing accurate representa-
tions of Indigenous people9s contin-
ued presence in the area, as well as
contemporary Indigenous artwork.
The Pittock Mansion exhibit is a
spinoff of a 2019 exhibit Littlebird
created with Five Oaks Museum
after a problematic exhibit about
Kalapuyan people was shown at
the Washington County Museum
in 2008, according to the Pittock
Mansion website.
Littlebird9s exhibition and the
modern Native artwork affirms
Native people still exist and live
on their traditional homelands.
The Washington County Museum
named the 2008 exhibit <This Ka-
lapuya Land.= Littlebird named the
2019 exhibit <This IS Kalapuyan
Land.=
Input from former Tribal histo-
rian David Lewis also was repre-
sented in the annotated panels. The
2019 exhibition closed early in 2020
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Littlebird resides in Las Vegas,
but traveled to see the opening of
the exhibit in early February.
<I am so excited to re-open this
exhibition after it closed early due
to the pandemic,= Littlebird says.
<This gives folks who learned about
8This IS Kalapuyan Land9 after it
closed a chance to see the panels
I edited with David Lewis9s help,
and see a new collection of local
Indigenous artwork.=
<This IS Kalapuyan Land at Pit-
tock Mansion= will be on display
until Sunday, July 23, at 3229
