CAIRNS director and exhibition curator, Dr. Craig Howe
Readings by poets with works in "Navigating Narratives": Joyce Jefferson, Lanniko Lee, Lori Walsh, and Tracy Hauff.

This exhibition examines the interactions between the boatmen of the Corps of Discovery Expedition and the Titonwanian people through first-person accounts from Sept. 23 to Sept. 30, 1804, as documented in the daily journals by Corps members William Clark, Patrick Gass, John Ordway and Joseph Whitehouse. CAIRNS has invited contemporary visual artists, poets and musicians to create works related to one or more of the journal entries. Seventy creatives created songs, artworks and poems for this exhibit. Though all of them are citizens of the United States of American, 30 are also citizens of American Indian tribes.
