| Summary: | This exhibit displays all of the Manning American Indian Collection acquired in 1916, the founding collection of the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. It explores the legacy of “Victorian” collecting and the period during which Native Americans saw their cultural objects institutionalized in glass cases. The exhibit also offers an alternative and culturally appropriate viewpoint that honors indigenous Plateau life-ways by contextualizing the Manning collection with objects drawn from the now vast and nationally important American Indian collection. |
