One of Washington's leading bicentennial projects is the Lewis and Clark Confluence Project.  Famed architect/artist Maya Lin, shown here with Antone Minthorn, President of the Board of Trustees of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (and WSHS board member) and Jim Beard, Director of Planning for the tribe, has agreed to do four sculptures for the bicentennial. They will be installed at the major confluences that provided Lewis and Clark their passage to the "End of Voyage":  Clearwater/Snake, Snake/Columbia, Willamette/Columbia, and the Columbia at the Pacific.

Maya Lin has stated that tribal involvement and insights will be key to her work.
