When
you
walk
in
and
go
to
the
right
corner,
there's
a
tiny
section
over
there
about
the
Native
Americans
who
lived
here
before
Westerners
committed
biopiracy
and
genocide.
The
first
of
about
10
informational
photos
says
that
the
museum
is
trying
to
be
more
inclusive
and
aware
of
its
history,
but
has
all
the
photos
of
the
Native
Americans
up
a
staircase
you
cant
even
access.
And,
it
looks
like
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
photos
were
taken
without
this
person's
consent.
It's
very
obvious
that
this
section
did
not
take
any
direction
from
a
Native
person,
or
do
any
research
into
considerations
to
be
taken.
How
about
mention
of
community
efforts
to
reconstruct
the
Kalapuya
dictionary?
How
about
teaching
about
the
agriculture
they
did
here
before
colonization?
How
about
teaching
about
Lane
County's
roles
in
the
atrocities
of
residential
schools?
How
about
not
putting
the
ONLY
photos
and
mention
of
native
people
up
in
a
corner
you
can't
even
access?
How
about
showing
examples
of
traditional
dances
done
by
Kalapuya
and
neighboring
tribes?
So
f*ckin,
daft,
y'all.
Do
better.
I
understand
that
its
a
small
museum,
but
you
could
at
LEAST
make
the
stairs
available
to
view
what
you
do
have,
even
though
its
almost
comical
how
obvious
it
is
that
these
did
not
want
their
picture
taken,
or
didn't
know,
like
the
blind
woman
standing
outside
her
house-
probably
not
knowing
who
tf
was
there
or
why.
The
Race
for
Change
exhibit
is
phenomenal
and
takes
up
a
very
decent
amount
of
space,
that
was
awesome.
The
only
reason
I'm
giving
3
stars
instead
of
one
is
because
of
the
effort
put
into
the
Race
for
Change
exhibit,
and
the
fiery
and
undeniable
acknowledgments
of
KKK
presence
here
in
Eugene-
which
NEEDS
to
be
taught
about
if
our
community
wants
to
be
a
safe
space.
