SUMMARY:United By Water: Culture\, Fish\, Water
DESCRIPTION:The inspiring journey of Upper Columbia River tribal communities as they reconnect with their tribal traditions and the river. \nDoors open at 5:30 pm; program begins at 6:30 pm \nDeschutes Brewery Mountain Room \nTickets can be found here. \nThe Coalition for the Deschutes is pleased to invite the community to join us for a showing the film “United by Water” followed by a panel discussion with Columbia River and Warm Springs tribal members. The film will be followed by a panel discussion about rivers and how we relate to and understand them. Panelists are: \nDR Michel – Executive Director\, Upper Columbia United Tribes \nJohn Sirois – Committee Coordinator\, Upper Columbia United Tribes \nElke and Alysia Littleleaf – Warm Springs tribal members\, Littleleaf Guide Services \nGary Lewis – writer\, photographer\, show host\, Gary Lewis Outdoors \nUnited by Water tells the story of the inspiring journey undertaken by Upper Columbia tribal communities to Kettle Falls\, the fishing site of their ancestors\, for the first time in 80 years. It is a story about the tribes’ reconnection with their traditions and heritage\, and with the river that was once so integral to their way of life. \nKettle Falls is now the site of the Grand Coulee Dam. In 1940\, the tribes held a Ceremony of Tears to mark the final time they saw Kettle Falls. \nMORE ABOUT THE FILM: \nUnited by Water has received national attention and has been accepted into several film festivals. Directed by Derrick LaMere of War Pony Pictures\, this film follows the first tribal canoe journey and gathering at Kettle Falls since the Ceremony of Tears in 1940. The film\, narrated by famed author Sherman Alexie\, documents this inspiring journey in 2016—building the canoes\, the physical and spiritual journey on the Columbia River\, and finally the historic landing at Kettle Falls. \nThe timely film highlights the need to recognize the importance of reconnecting to the Columbia River and restoring our salmon runs. Not only does the film bring attention to the historic wrongs that blocked salmon from the Upper Columbia River; it also shares the current efforts by Upper Columbia United Tribes and other tribes to bring forward tribal traditions to help better understand what is lacking in our contemporary society. We need to forge a deeper connection to the waters that bring life to our communities. \nUnited by Water offers an example of how\, working together\, we can act and make a positive difference for the future of our shared ecosystem.

SUMMARY:High Desert Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:In this High Desert Speaker Series event\, LeeAnn Kriegh\, author of The Nature of Bend\, shares little secrets and intriguing facts about the plants and animals of Central Oregon. (Did you know sagebrush is more closely related to tarragon than it is to the sage we cook with?) What better way to celebrate the romance of Valentine’s Day than by learning about the mating rituals and reproductive strategies of local flora and fauna? Kriegh writes about everything from junipers to porcupines in a conversational\, even conspiratorial tone\, and this fun talk will offer more of the same. You’ll laugh and learn and come away with an even greater appreciation for high desert plants and animals. \nAbout the speaker: Bend-based writer and amateur naturalist LeeAnn Kriegh is the author of The Nature of Bend\, a friendly and convenient guide to the most common plants and animals in Central Oregon. As a journalist\, LeeAnn has written for a variety of magazines and newspapers\, including The Oregonian. She currently runs a writing and editing business serving businesses and nonprofits nationwide. She has been a nature lover since her earliest days wandering beneath her mom’s towering rows of U-pick blueberry bushes. \nFree and open to the public\, but space is limited and registration is required. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the speaker beginning at 7 p.m.

SUMMARY:Monumental Threat - Defending Oregon's Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.
DESCRIPTION:President Trump and Congress\, with the help of Representative Walden\, are attempting to shrink the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument\, opening up these protected public lands to aggressive logging. The president’s recent orders to shrink America’s Monuments constitute the largest elimination of protected public land in our country’s history\, which means now is the time to get educated and get organized! \nJoin the Oregon Natural Desert Association\, Oregon Wild\, Great Old Broads for Wilderness- Bitterbrush Broads\, Juniper Group-Sierra Club and the Vocal Seniority for a community forum about the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and other threats posed to public lands. \nOur program will include a presentation by long-time advocate for the Cascade-Siskiyou and chair of the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council\, Dave Willis\, on the history of the Monument\, it’s unique ecology\, and why it’s worth protecting. We’ll hear about the wider fight over public lands across the west\, followed by a short overview on how you can get involved on the grassroots level. \nIn the face of unprecedented threats to our public places\, defenders of public lands need to band together\, so come join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion and next steps!

SUMMARY:Taking the River's Temperature: It's Not Just Another Number
DESCRIPTION:Dr. E. Ashley Steel\, Ph.D. is a quantitative ecologist and statistician with the Pacific Northwest Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service. \nDr. Steel’s research investigates the role of variability in ecological systems. Currently she’s measuring\, modeling\, and predicting water temperature on river networks. Her work can inform policies and actions for protecting and restoring the health of rivers like the Deschutes. \nShe will present recent work on: \n\nunderstanding and visualizing the complexity of water temperature patterns in rivers;\ncapturing the facets of the thermal regime that matter to the fish;\nexperiments and cool math to explain why fish and other aquatic organisms might care about whether the water temperature is stable or fluctuating;\nhow humans may be altering aspects of river thermal regimes in ways we don’t understand;\nlinking experimental evidence\, models\, and data collected in rivers to prepare for a changing climate.\n\nAdmission is free; we will gladly accept donations at the door.

SUMMARY:Wildflowers of Deschutes Canyon Area
DESCRIPTION:The middle Deschutes River Canyon provides a variety of native plant communities associated with the Sagebrush steppe. Wildflowers are blooming from February to October on rocky slopes\, canyon rims\, amongst bunchgrasses and along the river. \nPhotos of the most common of these native plants have been captured in a new pocket guide published by the Friends and Neighbors of the Deschutes Canyon Area (FANs). The author will present a slide show on the canyon and its plant communities. The guide will be for sale for $12. All proceeds are donated to FANs. \nMarilynne Keyser\, President of Friends and Neighbors of the Deschutes Canyon Area (FANS)\, is a retired CPA who also worked on Governor Barbara Robert’s policy staff during the early 1990s. She is an avid birder\, hiker and canoeist\, and an amateur native plant specialist. Marilynne heads up FANs’ Native Plant and Invasive Weed efforts. \nAdmission is free; donations accepted at the door. \nJoin the Coalition for the Deschutes at this event and receive a free book! \nNOTE: You do not need to print tickets for this event; we will have a sign-in sheet at the door.
