Rachel Vang joined the Spokane Tribe Preservation Program as the Archives and Collections Manager in 2022. She holds a M.S. in Applied Anthropology and Graduate Certificate in Museum Studies with an emphasis on Indigenous collections in museums. Rachel has previously worked with collections as a Collections Manager at The Mining & Rollo Jamison Museums, a Fossil Preparator at the Carthage Institute of Paleontology, and a volunteer intern at the University of Stevens Point Archaeology lab and Oshkosh Public Museum. She is excited to learn about the culture, traditions, and history of the Spokane Tribe, and is honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of the collection that helps tell the story of the Spokane people. Outside of work, Rachel enjoys exploring new places with her husband, hiking, photography, and watching movies.
