“Picturing Family: Métis Life in the Walla Walla Valley”

PICTURING FAMILY is brought to you by Professor Sarah Hurlburt, Madeline Senter '25, Anya Millard '26, Maxey Museum, and the Sheehan Gallery. This exhibition combines family photos of the Métis (mixed Indigenous and French Canadian) population of the Umatilla Indian Reservation at the turn of the 20th century with contemporary art made and collected by descendants of these same families at the turn of the 21st century. We invite you to discover these family communities, and the narrative and creative practices that sustain them.  

This Show Runs September 3 - December 6, 2024
