Episode Details

Shining Camas Woman, Aspen Decker of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, unveils a stunning ledger-style painting at the Beaverhead County Museum, honoring the ancient camas harvest tradition that sustained Salish communities for thousands of years. Using a 1910 map as her canvas, Decker blends ancestral knowledge with artistic resilience, weaving in language revitalization and reclaiming Indigenous narratives erased by history. Commissioned by Dr. Ron Loge, the piece captures the sacred rhythm of the Northwest’s seasonal cycles and stands as a vibrant, permanent tribute to Salish identity, food sovereignty, and the enduring power of storytelling through art.
