Abstract

The group uses archival artifacts to describe the 1855 Treaty and the interaction between the indigenous groups and the white-settler in the Pacific North-West region. The group showcases this interation through the “Rock” (the rock is currently situated at Whitman College) and the ways the rock viewed genocide, the tribal chiefs, and the present day land restoration and acknowledgement efforts that are taking place at Whitman College and the larger Walla Walla area.
