Subject:  History -- United States -- Lewis & Clark Object Type:  Sculpture Outdoor Sculpture -- Oregon -- Dalles Site-specific Owner:  Celilo Park, Dalles, Oregon Remarks:  The Confluence Project began in 2000 with a group of Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and civic groups from Washington and Oregon who commissioned Maya Lin to create an installation commemorating the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806. The Confluence Project is a series of seven art installations placed along a 450 mile course in the Columbia River Basin. Each installation site marks a place where waterways merge or traditional peoples have gathered, and each was a meeting place for Native Americans and the members of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Confluence Project was initiated in 2000 with a budget of $27 million. References:  Inventory staff, 2008.
