Much like the maps at Council Crest or Powell Butte, we have new mezzanine maps in the main terminal highlighting 16 forests—nonprofit, community, tribal-owned, and family-run—that supplied wood for our roof, shops, and floors. Down on the ground level, you’ll also find 14 round wooden markers, each revealing which forest a specific patch of wood came from. ? Spot a marker near security? Look up! Those Doug fir beams above you came from the Coquille Indian Tribe. Wandering by the heart of the terminal? The Douglas fir lattice nearby came from the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians. Every piece has a story, and now you can see exactly where it began. ? Portland artist Carson Ellis designed both the maps and markers, weaving in imagery and words shared by our four Northwest tribal partners. ? So next time you're exploring the terminal, keep an eye out for these little wooden stories. They’ll take you on a journey across the Northwest—no hiking boots required. ------ Yakama Forest Products, Sustainable Northwest, Sustainable Northwest Wood Inc, Skokomish Indian Tribe, ZGF Architects, Zena Forest Products, Timberlab, The Nature Conservancy in Oregon, The Nature Conservancy in Washington

1 天前Thank you for thinking of the outstanding learning opportunity this new facility provides. There is much for all of us to learn, but especially for the kids who will pass through this special place. Learning more about the tribal history and current efforts of First People in this region, and the geography, timber resources and environmental importance of the Pacific Northwest are valuable opportunities for all of us to experience. Every trip to PDX provides a chance to learn more about our home. Much Appreciated!
