Abstract
This exhibit explores multiple voices: tribal and nontribal, protagonist and antagonist, and how the tribes and the broader public perceive the discourse over challenges to the preservation of Plateau culture. Two discrete threats to traditional Plateau culture are considered: the environmental impacts of abandoned toxic mines and the collecting and preservation of archives related to the Plateau. The Midnite Mine pages explore the environmental damage wrought on the Spokane Reservation and the grass-roots response to it. The section on Plateau collectors explores the motivation of two men: Lucullus V. McWhorter and William Manning who in the early 20-th century collected and preserved key artifacts and documents.
