The next OAS General Meeting is May 7 at 7 p.m.
Special guest lecturer David Kaiser, on
“War Honors Revealed–
DStretch Analysis of The Deadmond Bison Robe”
The Deadmond robe, on display at Broadwater County Museum in Montana, is painted with numerous Blackfoot Indian war honors. Initially studied twenty years ago, the robe is worn and stained, and the art somewhat faded. With the assistance of an OAS grant, David Kaiser and Jim Keyser revisited the robe to see if image enhancing technology, usually used with rock art, could reveal further information. Taking over 500 photographs and using DStretch software to emphasize different parts of the color spectrum, numerous new details were revealed. Such details in Plains Biographic art can contain key information to the understating of the war stories depicted.
David Kaiser will be presenting LIVE at OMSI.
The lecture will be available on Zoom for OAS members.
Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is located at
1945 SE Water Ave. Portland, OR 97214-3354 at 7P.M.
Recordings of meetings will be available to the general public on the OAS YouTube channel one week after the meeting date. Visit the OAS YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVcaApNDyXOz2W6tsiWTPZw/
