Film: The Grand Salmon
Apr

Film: The Grand Salmon

Following three women on a 78-day paddling expedition, The Grand Salmon explores the effects of four dams on the Lower Snake River and their impact throughout the watershed on rapidly dwindling wild salmon populations. For over 1,000 miles, these women navigate the same waterways wild salmon have for generations, connecting the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean. From high water to extreme temperatures, this team not only faces the same natural challenges the fish do each year, but brings viewers along to experience what the construction of these dams has done to our ecosystems and wildlife.

Following the film, we will be joined by one of the paddlers for a Q&A!

Hosted by Whitman’s Salmon Conservation Club.

“Braiding Indigenous and Western Knowledge for Climate Resilience” - Zoom presentation
Mar
18

“Braiding Indigenous and Western Knowledge for Climate Resilience” - Zoom presentation

Dr. Cristina Eisenberg, Associate Dean and Director of Tribal Initiatives at the OSU College of Forestry,  will share why partnerships with Tribal Nations in the co-stewardship of national forests can increase their climate resilience. 

Given the speed of anthropogenic climate change and its impacts on forest resilience to wildfires, such partnerships are vital. Indigenous Peoples’ wisdom about forests and how they have changed since time immemorial provides powerful lessons. Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and practices such as cultural burning can deeply inform how humans steward forests.

On Tuesday evening, click here for the program: https://rdlwxw.clicks.mlsend.com/tj/c/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwMTc0MCxcImxcIjoxNDkxMjk2NzcxNTExNDMwMTcsXCJyXCI6MTQ5MTI5Njg4MjE0NjY5MjcxfSIsInMiOiIzNjUwYWFkYmU4NzRiZDU0In0
