Description: “Nespelem Art Colony portrait paintings, horse regalia, clothing, and archival photos illustrate American Indian cultural transitions from the 1930s reservation era. Tourists and spectators traveled to Indian reservations to glimpse a dying way of life. Instead, Plateau Indian celebrations introduced them to the resilience of American Indian identity.”
