The event is free to the public. Space is limited. RSVP to ginger.ewing@northwestmuseum.org or 509-363-5311. Exclusive sponsor is Wells Fargo
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.
