AMERICAN INDIAN EVENTS at the MAC

The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture is proud of its collaboration with the region's four Northern Plateau Tribes: Colville Confederated, Kalispel, Coeur d'Alene, and Spokane. In addition to exhibits which focus on American Indian culture, history and art and feature objects from the MAC's nationally recognized collections, the Museum also hosts special events which celebrate the tribes' rich culture.

Gathering to Sing and Dance   August 7, 2010 – October 2010

Museum Orientation Gallery

 This exhibit will highlight photographer Rob Roberts’ still images of the local, regional and visiting tribal peoples who gather for traditional summer celebrations (commonly known as powwows). The Riverfront Park Northwest Encampment and Julyamsh Coeur d’Alene Tribal Encampment are two annual events in the Spokane region that reflect the ongoing traditions of tribal songs and dances from the Plateau Tribes. A video produced by Shonto Pete, The Real Powwow Trail documents various aspects to these celebrations.
