Regional Workshop: Portland, Oregon

How does art deepen our understanding of the past and how that past shapes our modern realities? How can Native American art provide new perspectives on the settling and creation of the United States and westward expansion? Join scholars, curators, and museum educators on October 14 at the Portland Art Museum for an all-day workshop to investigate the history of Native Americans from Washington’s time through the colonization of the Pacific Northwest through primary sources and art. Participants will learn new methodologies, interact with scholars, and explore the galleries. Return to your classroom with new strategies and resources for integrating visual art into the social sciences and language arts curricula.
