Native American Heritage Month

This month we celebrate National Native American Heritage Month. 

There are great exhibits at the University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History, but this year we encourage you to look north to Salem and Willamette University’s Hallie Ford Museum of Art.

The HFMA’s permanent exhibition "Ancestral Dialogues: Conversations in Native American Art" is worth a visit in person, but is also available as a virtual tour https://bit.ly/48gwbmw

HFMA also hosts an online film series featuring three Native American artists from the Pacific Northwest whose work is exhibited at HFMA https://bit.ly/48m5Y63
