| dc.description | According to the artist, the images of this twined wapus (root bag) "represent legends and the oral history of my Columbia River descendants, now the people of Warm Springs. Nch'i-wana (the Big River) was once a sacred dwelling of my ancestors who lived, loved, and lost, but who will remain through the legends of Nch'i-wana." Depicted in bands (from top to bottom) are Tsagaglalal ("She Who Watches"), one of the most powerful Columbia River petroglyphs; the Condor, once wide-ranging in the gorge, and Elk, significant to the lives and livelihood of the peoples of Nch'i-wana. | |
