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: Spooky Forest Tree Lore
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are SOLD OUT!\n👻 Join us this October for a hauntingly fun edition of Forest Pub! Cozy up with a drink and dive into the eerie side of forest folk stories. This special night blends seasonal vibes with woodland wonder—perfect for autumn. \nLocal folklore educator and author Corinne Boyer will share the darker side of European tree lore. People of the past held a healthy fear of the forest landscape\, in part because of the presence of tree spirits. Corinne will examine human interactions with these spirits\, focusing on three main categories believed to inhabit ancient trees and forests: Demons\, Witches\, and Spirits of the Dead. She will distinguish between these categories and share specific examples of trees with ill-omened reputations. In a journey through ancient woods\, Corinne will also illuminate how folklore wisdom continues to be relevant today. \nJoin us as we explore this dark\, strange\, and evocative lore\, where the enchanted and inspirited forest world was part of daily life. \nSpeaker: \nCorinne Boyer is a folk herbalist\, teacher\, and author with a passion for traditions surrounding plants and folk magic. She has been teaching and writing full-time about the history and folklore of plants\, folk medicine\, and the plant traditions of northern and western Europe and North America since 2010. She has written over ten books and has published articles in multiple occult journals since 2015. www.maplemistwood.com
