If you’re in the Pendleton area and have an opportunity to visit the new tribal governance center, be sure to check out some of the great artwork decorating the building interior.
In addition to original mosaic and stone design by Joey Lavadour and glass work (an incredible tribute to Celilo Falls) by Wenix Red Elk, the new building also features an extensive collection of Crow’s Shadow prints by the following artists: James Lavadour, Rick Bartow, George Flett, Kay WalkingStick, Ramon Murillo and Susan Sheoships.
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation made a generous $15,000 contribution to Crow’s Shadow in 2009, a large portion of which went into the purchase of artwork.
Tribal employees did an excellent job of framing and hanging the prints throughout the building’s hallways, conference rooms and office spaces.
Much thanks to the CTUIR government for their support of Crow’s Shadow and our collaborating artists!
