Clark College’s Lewis D. Cannell Library will host a traveling exhibition about native concepts of health and illness from Feb. 9 to March 16. The library was selected as one of 104 grant recipients nationwide to host Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness, a traveling exhibition that visits U.S. libraries. There is no admission fee.
