We don’t know for sure how long humans have been wearing clothes. But we can be certain that sometime after clothing was “invented” the need to wash or clean clothes to rid them of dirt, smells, and lice became a concern. After a few thousand years of washing clothes along stream banks and lake shores, inventive humans began to play with the idea of creating machines which would clean clothes.

The Tlingit are an Alaska Native people whose aboriginal homelands stretched along the Pacific coast for more than 400 miles. The Tlingit were 18 distinct and autonomous groups. Each group felt that it was distinct from the others and had its own unique origins and ancestry. Like other Northwest Coast First Nations, Tlingit society was traditionally characterized by social stratification, that is, there was a hierarchy of social classes.

The Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Portland, Oregon held an exhibition, Highest Heaven: Andean Art from the Elvin Duerst Bequest, featuring art from the Spanish viceregal or colonial period from 1521 until the revolutions led by Simon Bolivar in 1821.

According to PAM:

“The violent conquest of the Americas by Iberian powers, beginning the sixteenth century, did not displace the peoples of the Incan and Aztec empires. Artists and artisans applied their advanced skills to the new religion of Christianity, producing an iconography and style completely new and reflective of their ancient cultures.”

Elwin Duers (1915-2006), Oregon-born and educated, was an American foreign aid worker who spent years in Central and South America. According to his obituary in The Oregonian:

“He collected American contemporary and Spanish colonial art and did some research in the field of Spanish colonial art of the 16th to 18th centuries.”

When the first American explorers and fur traders began to move out onto the Northern Plains following the Corps of Discovery (i.e. Lewis and Clark) in the early nineteenth century, they encountered the tribe which they came to call the Crows hunting in Montana and Wyoming. At this time, the Crows were horse-mounted buffalo hunters with a good understanding of the ecology of the country.
