First Friday at the Spokane Tribe's Cultural Center in Old City Hall

Shawn Brigman, enrolled member of the Spokane Tribe of Indians will present a talk about Contemporary Plateau Architecture. As a current candidate in the Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies at Gonzaga University, Brigman's artful leadership vision is to transform the way we read Plateau architectural space by physically recovering our ancestral architectural heritage built by hand with love, blood, sweat, and tears. Ancestral and contemporary architectural heritage may be linked as one in continuity between past, present, and future.

Contemporary Plateau architecture may also grow and evolve out of place and culture of Indigenous people while being modern in its construction technology (energy efficiency/cultural relevancy). Thus, she advocates Plateau architectural ways of learning, knowing, and being in the built environment disciplines that are native defined, controlled, and self determined.

The space for the Spokane Tribe's downtown cultural center is generously provided by Cotter Ranch Properties which operates the old City Hall Building and many other buildings in the Spokane area. For more information contact Jim Moore at 509-270-3526.
