BELLINGHAM, Wash. A 24-foot totem pole is on its way from Washington to Washington, D.C.
It’s a gift to the Biden Administration, crafted by the Lummi Tribal Nation which lives north of Bellingham. A team of 14 carvers worked over the 400-year-old red cedar.
“We have to come together. We’ve got to put our differences behind us,” said Douglas James, a Lummi master carver. “What that means is we’ve got to come together with one heart and one mind.”
After its journey ends in Washington, D.C. it will be displayed in the fall at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.
He chairs the education committee for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission and serves as local curator of its new history center, Greenwood Rising, which will be dedicated on June 2 as part of the centennial commemoration. He recently published his 10th book, Black Wall Street 100: An American City Grapples With Its Historical Racial Trauma.
In addition, the Tulsa author, attorney and independent consultant was named Thursday to the 2021 class of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. I am humbled and honored to join the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. Much of my work centers on building community through education and shared experiences. That work is its own reward. This added, high-level recognition is like icing on the cake, Johnson said in an email to The Oklahoman.
