- Summary
- "The aged ranks of eastern Washington's old-time warriors and women of the Chief Joseph band of Nez Perce, Chief Moses' Sinkiuse, and the San Poil-Nespelem, Yakima, Palouse, and other tribes were rapidly diminishing in the late 1930s. To compile an artistic and historical record of these people and their modern-day descendants, Washington State College established the Nespelem Art Colony.".
- "In summer sessions from 1937 to 1941, students and instructors took up residence in and around Nespelem, the headquarters of the Colville Confederated Tribes in north-central Washington. It was a colony in the true sense of the word, producing a prodigious amount of regional art.".
- "WSC's Art Department came of age during this period and was recognized as a grand addition to the college (now Washington State University). Well-known WSU artists - including Worth Griffin, Clyfford Still, George Laisner, and Glenn Wessels - spent their formative years at the college and served as instructors at Nespelem."--BOOK JACKET.
