SUMMARY:History Pub: The Past\, Present and Future of Indigenous Fire Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:Since time immemorial\, Indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest have been tending to the land with fire. Indigenous ways of knowing and understanding a place come from generations of careful exploration\, experimentation\, and observation. In recent centuries\, non-Native ideas about fire and its relationships to land and people have dominated management policies and practices. As the reality of climate change becomes more evident\, including through devastating fires that catalyze global warming\, centering Indigenous approaches to land management is increasingly important. \nPresenters Joe Scott\, Siletz Tribal Member and Director of the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program\, and Elizabeth Azzuz\, from the Yurok Tribe and Cultural Fire Management Council\, will share stories of Indigenous histories and approaches to fire management\, knowledge production\, and ecological stewardship. \n"All living things are fire dependent\, and that is the beginning of any tending process: the reintroduction of healthy fire." Joe Scott. \nPresented by Oregon Historical Society and World Forestry Center\, this program is the second in a two-part series about forests\, climate\, and history. It is hosted at McMenamin’s Kennedy School. \n    \n   \n$5 Tickets available here\nAbout the Speakers\nJoe Scott is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians\, a descendent of the Rogue River Tribes of what is now Southwestern Oregon. He currently lives and works on Kalapuya Illahee as Director of the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program\, collaborating with regional land stewards to support Tribal environmental engagement\, promote food sovereignty\, and explore traditional ways of knowing\, focused on Indigenous ecological science and traditional fire. He is a fire practitioner\, cultural ecologist\, traditional artist\, and a lifelong Tribal teacher and learner. \nLearn more at www.longtom.org/community/teip/ \nElizabeth Azzuz is a member of the Yurok tribe in Northern California\, Director of Traditional Burning and Treasurer for the Cultural Fire Management Council (CFMC) Board of Directors. The mission of CFMC is to facilitate the practice of cultural burning on the Yurok Reservation and Ancestral lands\, which will lead to a healthier ecosystem for all plants and animals\, long term fire protection for residents\, and provide a platform that will in turn support the traditional hunting and gathering activities of Yurok. \nLearn more at www.culturalfire.org/

Meet experts in the forests\, hear about their role in a warming world\, and maybe even discover your favorite lichen that you didn’t know existed. \nMeet The Experts \n\nHannah Prather is an NSF postdoctoral researcher and visiting assistant professor of biology at Reed College\, where she teaches about the intricate relationship among lichens\, bryophytes\, host trees\, and the surrounding ecosystem\, particularly in urban and polar environments. She loves to share her diverse field-based experiences with her students\, and hopes to foster a sense of excitement and awe for the often overlooked\, yet fascinating world of lichens and bryophytes.\nJesse Miller is the lead botanist for the Washington Natural Heritage Program\, where he provides scientific guidance for rare plant conservation efforts statewide. Since his time as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California-Davis\, he has studied effects of fire severity and altered fire regimes on plant and lichen communities.\nJes Burns is a science reporter in OPB's Science & Environment unit. She is the lead brain behind the show “All Science\, No Fiction”\, which uses whimsy\, curiosity and fun to place a spotlight on scientists in the Pacific Northwest.\n\nArrive before the event and show your ticket to get free access to World Forestry Center's Discovery Museum (5:00PM-7:00PM). \nThis event is presented by Science Friday and World Forestry Center\, in partnership with OPB and Hoyt Arboretum.

SUMMARY:History Pub: Trees\, Landscapes\, Climate\, and What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:As we endure another season of heat waves and catastrophic wildfires\, Vivek Shandas and Joshua Howe will discuss the historic and contemporary relationships among Oregon’s trees\, rural and urban forests\, and climate change. \nTickets are available here for purchase ($5) or at the door ($6).\nOregon’s landscapes have been shaped by forces including evolution\, climate\, human behavior\, and intersections among all three. The evolution of trees shaped ancient landscapes\, which then were shaped anew through millennia relationships with Indigenous people. During the past two centuries\, many of our relationships with trees and forests have been shaped by the social\, economic\, and environmental structures that drastically remade landscapes across the state. Today\, those regional histories are intersecting with the global phenomenon of climate change\, forcing all of us to contend not only with what has led to the current reality but also how our actions will shape the future. \nPresented by Oregon Historical Society and World Forestry Center\, this program is hosted at McMenamin's Kennedy School. It is the first in a two-part series about forests\, climate\, and history; the second program will feature Indigenous knowledge holders and their relationship to cultural burning on Monday\, November 25. \nAbout the speakers: \n \nVivek Shandas is Professor of Geography at Portland State University. As an interdisciplinary scholar\, Vivek studies the past and emergent characteristics that generate vulnerability and produce resilience in communities and landscapes. He has contributed to over 100 publications\, five books\, and his research has been featured in the NYTimes\, The New Yorker\, National Geographic\, Scientific American\, The Atlantic\, Times of India\, Le Monde\, and many other media outlets. In 2023\, he was appointed by the US Secretary of Agriculture to serve on the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council\, and otherwise serves as a consultant to several public\, private\, and non-profit organizations. Vivek received his PhD in urban ecology from the University of Washington\, and holds degrees in biology\, economics\, and environmental policy. During his spare time\, he revels in the Earth's deep history\, cosmology\, and pines for wood-fired pizza and picnic tables. \n \nJoshua Howe is Associate Professor of History and Environmental Studies and Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Reed College. His recent books\, Behind the Curve: Science and the Politics of Global Warming (University of Washington Press\, 2014) and Making Climate Change History: Documents from Global Warming’s Past (University of Washington Press\, 2017)\, explore the political history of climate change since the 1950s\, and his work on climate change and the Anthropocene has also appeared in Environmental History\, Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences\, Climatic Change\, Diplomatic History\, and a number of edited volumes. In his current work\, Josh investigates the environmental legacies of American foreign policy decisions from the early 1950s through the second American war in Iraq\, and his forthcoming co-authored book with Alexander Lemons\, Warbody: A Marine Sniper and the Hidden Violence of Modern Warfare (W.W. Norton\, 2025)\, is set to appear in February. Josh holds a B.A. in history and creative writing from Middlebury College and a Ph.D. in history from Stanford University. From 2010-2012\, he served as a postdoctoral fellow with the National Science Foundation’s John Tyndall Correspondence Project at Montana State University in Bozeman\, Montana\, and began his position at Reed in 2012. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE or at the door at McMenamin's Kennedy School.\n6:00PM Doors\, 7:00PM Program \nAll ages welcome.
