This IS Kalapuyan Land opened in 2019 as a physical museum exhibition by Guest Curator Steph Littlebird Fogel. The exhibition prompts critical thinking around representation of Indigenous history and identity in non-Indigenous institutions. To achieve this Fogel annotated panels from the museum’s prior exhibit on Kalapuyan peoples, curated contemporary Native artwork into the exhibition, and added historical content from David G. Lewis, Phd, who is a preeminent scholar on Western Oregon tribes. The full content lives on as a virtual exhibition, [here].
