We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of local Native American artist Rick Bartow.
Rick was an Oregon treasure.
We are proud to have one of his works, Kestrel Stalling, on display in my office.
I’m even prouder that one of his signature works, We Were Always Here, was installed in Washington D.C.
We join with the Oregon arts community in expressing condolences to his family and friends.
A death in the family: Rick Bartow

April is nationally recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Sexual assault is a devastating public health, human rights, and social justice issue in our community, and around the world.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually assaulted before the age of 18.
It’s up to us to support survivors of sexual assault.
Check out the US Department of Justice’s website that’s dedicated to education and prevention of sexual violence. Learn how to talk to your children about sexual assault, how to recognize abuse, and how to help and support survivors.
