The Gathering Place at Washuxwal pavilion's design is inspired by traditional cedar plank houses used by local tribes living along the shores of the Columbia River.  It features Native-inspired wood carvings created by Adam McIsaac, project lead carver and advisor for the pavilion artwork, a respected expert in Native American art.

‘Gathering Place at Washuxwal’ opens

The practice of gift giving has unique significance in many indigenous cultures. The practice shows respect to the receiver of the gift, as well as to their family members and ancestors. It is also a way to show appreciation for guidance or advice, or for assistance from those with distinct abilities such as healers or ceremonialists. Several tribes traditionally welcome visitors with gifts as well.
