Missionaries to the inland Northwest created the earliest and most substantial archives of Plateau Indian culture. This illustrated presentation examines how collectors with varied motivations amassed American Indian cultural materials. Power and wealth influence who acquires collections and where collections reside often resulting in the geographical dispossession of cultural heritage.\u00a0 However, recent work centered on digital repatriation may provide one method for connecting cultural heritage with their respective communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3\/3:<\/strong> <strong><em>reCollection: An Ephemeral Exhibition of Exquisite &amp; Eclectic Ephemera<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; Jessica Spring, Springtide Press. Jessica Spring, local Tacoma letterpress printer and owner of <a href=\"springtidepress.com\">Springtide Press<\/a>, will discuss her recent work as shown in <em>reCollection: An Ephemeral Exhibition of Exquisite &amp; Eclectic Ephemera<\/em>, which was on display at the <a href=\"http:\/\/spaceworkstacoma.com\/tag\/jessica-spring\/\">Spaceworks Artscape<\/a> from September \u2013 December 2014. \u00a0Jessica\u2019s talk will focus on the process of collecting and the curation of personal archives.\u00a0 \u201cWhen used by collectors, the term \u2018ephemera\u2019 describes materials, often paper, that have little value beyond their intended use,\u201d says Spring. Matchbooks, postcards and milk bottle caps are examples. \u201cThese objects serve to light a cigarette, send a message, or protect a bottle of milk, but they also provide a glimpse of another place and time.\u201d\u00a0 Jessica will share examples of the ephemera as well as talk about how the curation of the collection has inspired and influenced her own art.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4\/7:<\/strong> <strong><em>From Jackson State to Ferguson: Memory and Erasure in the History of Racial Violence<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; Nancy Bristow, History, African American Studies.<br \/>\nAsked in August, 2014, whether the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri \u201craises important issues about race that need to be discussed,\u201d 80% of African Americans said \u201cyes,\u201d while 47% of white Americans believed \u201crace is getting more attention than it deserves.\u201d\u00a0 These statistics make visible the divergent historical memories of two American communities and the powerful erasure silence around race makes possible.\u00a0 Focusing on the police shootings that took place at Jackson State College forty-five years ago, Professor Nancy Bristow will situate the recent events in Ferguson and beyond in the nation\u2019s long history of state violence against African Americans and will explore the white community\u2019s persistent unwillingness to acknowledge and address its racial dynamics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5\/5:<\/strong> <em><strong>Documenting the Slide from Hope to Chaos: The Road to Tian\u2019anmen Square<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Professor David Hull, Asian Studies. The Egge Collection is a vast trove of media sources tracking the lead-up to the chaos of Tian\u2019anmen Square in June of 1989. \u00a0Aside from a couple of very interesting unique artifacts of the movements, the collection\u2019s real value lies in the Chinese print media collected in the weeks leading up to the violent clearing of the square.
