SUMMARY:How to Talk About Race in Rural Communities - with LaNicia Duke
DESCRIPTION:Join Presence Collective for a webinar with LaNicia Duke on “How to Talk About Race in Rural Communities.” Many states are thought of as “progressive” when they have big cities with diverse populations. Outside of those big cities are rural communities struggling with how to define social justice reform or have conversations about race because of the lack of representation of underrepresented communities. LaNicia will share insight from her experience as one of the few Black people living in Tillamook county and how she has helped her communities have courageous conversations about race.

SUMMARY:The Snake River: Hope & Opportunity at the Tipping Point
DESCRIPTION:Northeast Oregon is home to America’s deepest canyon and the longest recorded habitation by humans. Learn about the importance of the Snake River to indigenous people\, wildlife\, and generations of battles to protect and restore it from a diverse group of multigenerational advocates. \nOregon is home to North America’s deepest Canyon. That’s right. Hells Canyon – which marks much of the boundary between Oregon and Idaho – is even deeper than the Grand! Connecting Yellowstone to the Columbia\, the Snake is an artery of life through some of America’s wildest and most diverse landscapes. The watershed is also home to the oldest current evidence of human habitation in America. The Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) have been here for over 16\,000 years. \nThe Snake once hosted abundant salmon runs and gave life to people and wildlife alike. It still plays an important role\, but has been fought over and degraded for decades. Things may be about to change. Learn about the river’s importance to indigenous people\, the successful battles to keep parts of the river wild and free\, and current efforts to free the Snake!
