Native Innovations Exhibit

The Coos Bay Public Library is hosting Native Innovations, a hands-on exhibit curated by the Museum of Natural and Cultural History.  Celebrate engineering innovations designed and used by First Nations in Oregon. This exhibit will explore how Native Americans have used knowledge, creativity, and ingenuity to solve problems for thousands of years, and continue to do so today. Participants will be 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.  The exhibit will be on display in the Youth and Family section of the library beginning August 20 and continuing through September 13.
