River Stories - Woven Work by Kristie Strasen

“RIVER STORIES” is a series of hand-woven tapestries depicting the Columbia River and selected tributaries that feed into it as it passes through the Columbia River Gorge. The tapestries create a visual narrative that touches on the geological, cultural and political history of these rivers and their critical role in Native American sovereignty, fishing rights, land management, irrigation, and environmental balance.” - Kristie Stasen
