Show Notes
Fred Mitchell, a firefighter and former mayor, donates his extensive collection of Umatilla, Cayuse, and Walla Walla artifacts to the Tamastslikt Cultural Institute, marking a significant victory for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The collection, built over decades, includes thousands of ancient stone and metal items, historic photos, beaded bags, pouches, gauntlets, dresses, cradleboards, and more. The donation helps preserve the tribes history, as many artifacts were lost due to fires, floods, and shady sales. Mitchells collection is a unique addition, as he held onto the pieces with care since he was a kid. The ceremony to mark the donation was held at the Nixyaawii Governance Center, with Mitchell receiving a gifted blanket amid falling rain, symbolizing the return of the treasures to their rightful home.
