SUMMARY:Sasquatch: Ancestral Guardians
DESCRIPTION:“We must walk lightly when we are between worlds with this sacred being.” – Phillip Cash Cash \nIndigenous peoples have long been in relationship with and shared stories about sacred forest protectors\, often called Sasquatch and Bigfoot. The works in this exhibition are made by Indigenous artists and honor generations of spiritual practices\, storytelling\, and tradition. Leave your preconceived notions behind and immerse yourself\, not in the question of if Sasquatch exists\, but rather\, how are we existing with and honoring this non-human other. \nThis exhibition has been extended to January 31\, 2026\, at the Discovery Museum. \nCurated to align with the mission of World Forestry Center\, this exhibition was created in collaboration with these Indigenous artists and the High Desert Museum in Bend\, Oregon\, which featured the exhibition Sensing Sasquatch in 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is advised by and consists of original artwork by: Phillip Cash Cash\, Ph.D. (Nez Perce\, Cayuse)\, HollyAnna CougarTracks DeCoteau Littlebull (Yakama\, Nez Perce\, Cayuse\, Cree)\, Charlene “Tillie” Dimmick (Warm Springs)\, Frank Buffalo Hyde (Nez Perce\, Onondaga) and Rocky LaRock (Salish)\, Greg Archuleta (Grand Ronde). \nLearn more about the exhibit here.

SUMMARY:Forest Pub: Stewarding Forest Park
DESCRIPTION:Stewarding Forest Park: How the Largest Urban Park Came to Be \nPurchase Tickets Here\nForest Park is more than just trees and trails—it’s a living\, breathing biodiversity sanctuary that has relied on community care for generations to come. Join the Forest Park Conservancy and local experts for a conversation about the park’s origins\, the efforts to preserve public access\, and how that legacy continues to shape stewardship today. \nFrom its early history to today’s efforts\, this event highlights the community’s essential role in shaping and sustaining one of the nation’s largest urban forests. Through stories of resilience\, advocacy\, and community involvement\, we’ll explore how Forest Park came to be—and what it takes to keep it thriving. \nWhether you’re a longtime supporter or just beginning to explore the park\, this is a chance to learn\, connect\, and be inspired to help steward its future. \nMeet the speakers:\n\nMarcy Cottrell Houle\, MS\, is a professional wildlife biologist and the author of seven award-winning books.
