The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center invites you to two exciting events:
Aug. 25 -- History Exchange Dinner.
Join executive director Ken Karsmizki as he discusses the Indian artifacts of the Mid-Columbia. Everyone is welcome to discuss and share knowledge regarding Indian artifacts found in the region and their uses.
The discussion is free and a lemon chicken dinner is available for $10.
Dinner includes lemon chicken entre, Mediterranean salad, rice pilaf, dessert, and non-alcoholic drinks.
Aug. 26 -- Steven Grafe presents the photographs of Lee Moorhouse.
Steven Grafe presents "Lee Moorhouse: A Photographer in the Columbia Basin, 1898-1915" at 2 p.m. The presentation is free for members or included with museum admission.
This marks the first major examination of Moorhouse and his work. Featuring eighty plates, the book not only showcases Moorhouse's extensive photographs but also tells the story of the man and of the world in which he lived and worked. Moorhouse believed that the Indians he encountered in the Columbia Basin region were a "dying race." He was driven to collect their artifacts and, for posterity, take their photographs.
Although he was not a professional photographer, Moorhouse produced more than 9,000 glass-plate negatives, one-third with Indians as his subjects. His works are an aid for tribal researchers and historians because they identify their subjects by name. His images record with some accuracy the everyday styles and dress of turn-of-the-century southern Plateau peoples.
