Douglas Deur, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized researcher on the Native American cultures and environmental history of Northwestern North America. He has served as the lead researcher on tribal cultural documentation efforts for tribes and First Nations in many parts of the American and Canadian West, including tribes of western Oregon – assisting in efforts to preserve their heritage and their distinctive knowledge of the land. He has also served as the principal researcher on similar topics for the National Park Service in the western United States, documenting historical and cultural uses of the land in roughly thirty national parks. Though interested in the past, much of his work is forward-looking, resulting in educational plans for tribal youth, for example, or natural resource protection and restoration plans that apply historical information in modern times.  His writings on Northwestern history, cultural heritage, and natural history have received state, national and international writing awards – from the Oregon Historical Society’s “Joel Palmer Award” to the New York Times Best Seller list. He is a research professor in the Portland State University Department of Anthropology, Adjunct Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria School of Environmental Studies, and a Commissioner to the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department. Born and raised in northwestern Oregon, he is a full-time resident of the northern Oregon coast.

You can even choose to make a weekend of it and visit Les Shirley park with us, so we can discuss Clark’s trip to the whale and McNeal’s Folly. This is a good chance for people to become familiar with the area if they want to volunteer as docents/guides during the October annual meeting!

LCTHF (Lewis and Clark Trails Heritage Foundation) has partnered with the EOTIC (End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center) to have an afterhours showing, in the EOTIC theater, of the film “PROMISED LAND” as a benefit for the Chinook Indian Nation.  “PROMISED LAND” is a social justice documentary that follows two tribes in the Pacific Northwest, the Duwamish and the Chinook, as they fight for the restoration of treaty rights they've long been denied.  The date of the showing, Saturday, February 10, 2018 may seem like a long way off but the theatre only holds 80 people so, to be assured of a seat, it would behoove you to make your reservations as soon as you can before this announcement goes out to the general public.  See the press release for this showing in the attachment to this email.  Here are the basic details:

Tickets are $10 per person.  All proceeds will go to the Chinook Nation to support their Cultural Committee and on-going tribal recognition efforts.  Additional donations for the cause are welcome.
Please reserve your tickets in advance by calling 503-657-9336 or by visiting historicoregoncity.org/calendar
