I am looking for a contact at the Warm Springs Reservation Museum in Warm Springs, OR. I've been working on an article about a Women's Christian Temperance Union banner from the Warm Springs Reservation. Although I cannot be certain whether the banner was created by Native American women or by white missionaries, the iconography on the banner is an interesting combination of typical WCTU imagry and iconography familiar to Pacific Northwest Indian designs. The beadwork itself is of a style very familiar among Northwest peoples. The date of the banner is unclear, but it is most likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. It has been on display at the National Museum of American History since 1990, in the exhibit, "From Parlor to Politics: Women and Reform in America, 1890-1925." I'm interested in learning more about the presence of the WCTU on the reservation and, more specifically, about the community's involvement with or resistance to them. I would especially like to include community members' voices in my interpretation of the banner, if possible. If anyone on the list works at Warm Springs or can direct me to someone at the museum, please email me off the list. Thank you! Denise D. Meringolo [log in to unmask]
