The new Museum Adventures exhibit, “Native Innovations,” recognizes and celebrates engineering innovations designed and used by First Nations in Oregon. It explores how Native Americans have used knowledge, creativity, and ingenuity to solve problems for thousands of years, and continue to do so today. Participants are invited to try their own hand at engineering, while learning from examples of traditional Indigenous technologies related to housing, travel, tools, recreation, resource management, and more, along with the current uses or applications of those innovations.
