February - We're Still Here: The Resilience of Washington Tribes

The Camas Public Library invites the community to experience the traveling exhibit We’re Still Here: The Resilience of Washington Tribes, on display in the Library’s Second Story Gallery February 6 - 28, 2026.

Created by Legacy Washington in partnership with the Washington Secretary of State, with the advice and input of tribal leaders and authorities from around the state, this exhibit explores the enduring presence and strength of Indigenous peoples throughout Washington state. Through thoughtfully designed interpretive panels, visitors will learn about tribal connections to the land, the lasting impacts of treaties and colonization, and the ongoing revitalization of culture, language, and traditions.

 

To complement the exhibit, the Library will host several free public programs that highlight Indigenous voices and storytelling:

  • Native Story Hour with Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation)
    Saturday, February 7 at 4 p.m.
  • “Guardian of the Land” Film Screening and Craft
    Saturday, February 14 at 4 p.m.
