Dragons at Under the Autumn Moon Festival, Portland, Oregon, 1996
Description
The Autumn Moon Festival is a harvest festival celebrated in China and across many east Asian countries. The festival dates back to the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600-1046 BCE) and takes place outdoors during an autumn full moon, usually in September or October. The festival is nearly as important a holiday in the Chinese calendar as is the Chinese Lunar New Year and is a legal holiday in many countries. The moon’s perfectly round shape is a symbol of family harmony and unity. Even if they are apart, loved ones are united as they gaze up at the moon together. Common festivities as part of Portland's festival include a lantern viewing, performances of dragon and lion dances, opera and storytelling, poetry and calligraphy activities, and eating mooncakes, a rich pastry decorated with designs and filled with a variety of fillings including seeds, nuts, date paste, and smashed beans. Additionally, there are many games played at twilight regarding flights of the soul, spirit possession, or fortune telling.

Drummers at Obon Festival, Portland, Oregon, 1996
Description
Obon Festival is a Japanese Buddhist celebration held in the summer to honor one’s ancestors. According to a Buddhist legend, a disciple of Buddha had a meditative vision of his mother suffering in the World of Hungry Ghosts. Buddha instructed him to provide a feast for the monks returning from their retreats. After this act of kindness, his mother was released and danced for joy. To honor this story, participants in the festival take part in a Bon Odori (Obon dance), hang lanterns, visit memorials, and offer food. The first record of this celebration in the United States was in San Francisco in 1931. Since then, the festival has traveled along the west coast, and Portland was no exception. The Oregon Buddhist Temple annually hosts an Obon Festival where more experienced Bon Odori dancers lead groups in traditional dances. They also provide entertainment and vendors such as lion dancers. The emphasis is on ignoring ego and dancing for joy.

Description
The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs (CTWS) began as three separate tribes (the Wasco, Warm Springs, and Paiute) that lived along the Columbia River and Cascade Mountain Range. Each had their own unique customs and languages. In 1855, the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes signed a treaty ceding 10 million acres to the United States in exchange for the 640,000 acres that now make up the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The Paiutes later traveled from their original reservation and joined the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes. Since its establishment during the late 1930s, the tribal government has advocated for and ensured the continuing well-being of the tribal community by preserving the tribes’ sovereignty, protecting treaty and legal rights, and creating a strong community and economic environment. Every year, the CTWS commemorates the signing of the treaty with a Powwow that displays their resilient cultural heritage. The Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Powwow includes traditional dancing contests, pageants, games, rodeos, parades and foods.
