Camas Public Library Presents “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.
“This exhibit offers an important opportunity for our community to learn from Indigenous voices and better understand the living history of the land we share,” said Connie Urquhart, Director of the Camas Public Library.
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. - We Live with the Bones of Our Ancestors!
A talk presented by Sam Robinson, Vice-Chairman of the Chinook Indian Nation Council
Monday, February 23 at 6 p.m.
Together, the exhibit and programs offer opportunities for all ages to engage with the history, resilience, and living cultures of Washington tribes.
