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= exhi-
bition curated by Grand Ronde
Tribal member and artist Steph
Littlebird.
The exhibit features historical
panels sharing accurate repre-
sentations of Indigenous people9s
continued 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 aforms
Native people still exist and live
on their traditional homelands.

<This Kalapuya 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
Pittock Mansion= will be on dis-
play until Sunday, July 23, at
3229 N.W. Pittock Drive, Port-
land.
