Mural Dedicated to North Oregon Coast Native People
 |
| A surreal sunset moment in Seaside |
(Seaside, Oregon) - The dedication of a 60 ft. long mural by artist Roger Cooke of Sandy, Oregon will be held Saturday, September 6 at 1 pm. The mural, painted on aluminum panels, will be mounted on the north exterior wall of Holladay Drug Store at the corner of Broadway and Holladay.
The mural depicts scenes of the daily life of the Clatsop and Nehalem tribes at the Seaside estuary with Tillamook Head in the background. Included in the painting will be images of historic tribal members such as Tostum, Chief of the Clatsop Tribe in the early 1800’s. Among those taking part in the dedication will be Tostum’s descendent, Diane Collier of Warrenton, Clatsop-Nehalem Tribal Chairwoman.

The ceremony is open to the public, allowing them to not only see the unveiling but to enjoy storytelling, a carving demonstration and view other Northwest Native American art in Quatat Park following the dedication. Featured storytellers are Elaine Grinnell of the Sklallam Tribe, Roberta Basch, a Clatsop-Nehalem and Puyallup, and Doug Deur, a Clatsop-Nehalem historian.
Artist’s displaying their works are Phil Zantua, a Tsimsiam Alaskan wood carver; Steve Shane, Clatsop-Nehalem jewelry maker; and Roberta Basch, a maker of Northwest Indian Art.
The artists’ works will also be displayed later in the day at the First Saturday Art Walk, which is sponsored by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce, from 5 to 8 pm at C by the Sea, Avenue U and Highway 101.

Roger
Cooke, the artist who created the mural, works from a studio on the Sandy
River, where he produces paintings, bronzes, illustrations, murals and
portraits. Cooke’s murals are on display in cities and towns across
the country.
“Murals are an opportunity to bring history to life on a grand scale,” said Tribal Chairwoman Diane Collier. “They give people a way to get acquainted with local background in a very compelling manner. Cooke’s work is a significant addition to our area and a showpiece for both locals and visitors. We hope many of you will come to the dedication and enjoy learning more from our storytellers and artists.”
In Seaside, Oregon, on September 6, as part of the First Saturday Art Walk. The mural is at the corner of Broadway and Holladay. 503-861-2450.
