LILLIAN PITT TRIBUTE
It has sure been a wild ride and you all have made it the very

best. It is with sadness and deep appreciation that I bid you
adieu. This past year may have been our best yet with the
opening of Contemporary Native Photographers and the Edward
Curtis Legacy, Native Fashion Now, the new Center for
Contemporary Native Art, the Lillian Pitt installation, incredible
programs that have brought in the Native community like never
before and the acquisition of several stellar works of art.
With your help, and the awesome PAM staff we've done an
incredible amount of work. Here's a recap of the past 4 years:

every one of us have increased our knowledge

EX OFFICIO
Beverly Terry, Secretary, served the board professionally for
six years, but I really appreciate the time Beverly took to come
early and help me with the coffee detail before each meeting.
Mary McWilliams is a true "star" since she took on the role of
ALERT/FOCUS Chair after a long search. The museum and
most of our members expect us to communicate by e-mail
instead of the paper copy we relied on for so many years. Mary
approached the role with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn
every facet of the new Constant Contact system.

Liz Lambert and their very willing spouses, Dave Lambert and

The setting, Eastern Oklahoma, 1928. Eighteenyear-old Maud Nail lives with her rogue father and
sensitive brother on one of the allotments parceled
out by the U.S. Government to the Cherokees
when their land was confiscated for Oklahoma's statehood.
Maud's days are filled with hard work and simple pleasures, but

often marked by violence and tragedy, a fact that she accepts
with determined practicality. Her prospects for a better life are
slim, but when a newcomer with good looks and books rides
down her section line, she takes notice. Soon she finds herself
facing a series of high-stakes decisions that will determine her
future and those of her loved ones. Maud's Line is accessible,
sensuous, and vivid. It will sit on the bookshelf alongside
novels by Jim Harrison, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and
other beloved chroniclers of the American West and its people.

Code Talker: First and Only Memoir By One of the
Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII, by Chester
Nez and Judith Schiess Avila
The story of the only original World War II Navajo
code talker still alive. Chester Nez was the
English name he was assigned in kindergarten. In
boarding school at Fort Defiance, he was punished for speaking
his native language. But discrimination didn't stop Chester from
defending his country after Pearl Harbor, for the Navajo have

always been warriors, and his upbringing on a New Mexico
reservation gave him the strength-physical and mental-to excel
as a marine. During World War II, the Japanese had managed to
crack every code the United States used. So the Marines
turned to Navajo recruits for a secret military language, and they
created the only unbroken code in modern warfare-and helped
assure victory for the United States in the South Pacific.

CELEBRATION DINNER AT

Mary Sayler writes about
this March 24th dinner that
NAAC members had been
invited to attend.
Drumming Circle by Nez Perce
members
Stay Connected
From August 1877 to April
1878, the Red Heart Band of
Nez Perce was imprisoned
Join My Mailing List
by the U.S. Army at Fort Vancouver. Since 1998 the Nez Perce
have made an annual journey from their reservation in Lapwai,
Idaho to Vancouver, Washington to conduct a memorial
ceremony in honor of their ancestors held in captivity.
In 1879, just one year after the Red Heart Band was released,
Erskine Wood was born at Vancouver barracks. He was the son
of C.E.S. Wood who was aide-de-camp to General Howard
during the Nez Perce War of 1877. In 1892, upon the invitation
of Chief Joseph, C.E.S. sent his son to live with Chief Joseph
Forward to a Friend
at his camp. Erskine maintained his connection with the Nez
Perce over the years, hosting dinners for tribal dignitaries when
they came to the Portland area to conduct business. He is the
grandfather of the current owners of the house.
C.E.S. was also one of the founders of the Portland Art
Museum. For the past dozen years, Erskine's grandchildren
have been honored to revive their family's welcome of the Nez
Perce by hosting a dinner the evening before the Memorial
Ceremony. These photos show the people gathering at the
home of Erskine and Sandy Wood at the historic home on the
banks of the Columbia River--once owned by Erskine Sr. and
his wife Rebecca Biddle.
The dinner was totally hosted
by the Wood family including
salmon, elk meat, salads,
hors d'oeuvres and
beverages.
