Statement by Red Earth Descendants: "As prophesied by
Indigenous People, the health and survival of our Grandmother
Earth is threatened by human abuse. We have reached a time
of crisis, we are standing at the crossroads. We invite
you to share in discussion/problem solving between Native
people and environmentalists. These two vital groups of
people, along with our community, will work together to to
discuss common ground in the environmental protection,
ecological restoration, and indigenous movements; how new
technology can be best guided by old traditions, and how we can
work in a united way to heal our Grandmother.
"R.E.D. is committed to the health and well being of the
next Seven Generations of life. Our Children and our
grandchildren inherit ALL that we leave behind. It is part of
our vision, then, that All Nations work together to solve
these problems. Every one of us can make changes, learn, and
grow together during this crucial shift of consciousness.
That is the purpose of our EcoSymposium."

More information about Corbin Harney, and about speakers at
the EcoSymposium sessions on Local Activism and Fire &
Ecological Restoration.
Corbin Harney, a Newe (Western Shoshone) spiritual leader
and healer, passed away on July 10, 2007. Born in Bruno,
Idaho on March 24, 1920, he became an international
indigenous rights and anti-nuclear weapons activist. Harney sang
his prayer songs at the United Nations and at demonstrations
from the Nevada Test Site to the Russian Nuclear Bombing
Range in Kazakhstan. He was the featured speaker at
anti-nuclear conferences around the world and in the 1990s led
thousands past the front gates of the Nevada Test Site on his
traditional lands in mass acts of non-violent resistance
against the testing and proliferation of nuclear weapons. In
1994, Corbin Harney founded the Shundahai Network
(Shundahai is the Newe word for "peace and harmony with all
creation") to work with people and organizations to respond to
pressing environmental, nuclear and Native issues and to ensure
that Native voices are heard and heeded in the movement to
shape national and international policy. (Visit the
Shundahai Network at http://www.shundahai.org) He received the
Nuclear-Free Future Award in 2003.
LOCAL ACTIVISM ~ Speakers ~ Friday, 9/28, 7:00 to 10:00
pm
Chant Thomas has a 30 year history of working for the Earth
with organizations ranging from Antioch University to
Earth First! Siskiyou to Headwaters. Currently, he is
maintaining his long-term defense work with the group named after
his home watershed, Threatened & Endangered Little Applegate
Valley, as well as managing Dakubetede Environmental
Education Programs and the Birch Creek Arts & Ecology Center
with his wife, Susanna Bahaar, from their base at Trillium
Farm. He is prepared to speak on the full range on
environmental subjects: learning from the land, protecting it, and
living a life style that is consistent with respect for all
life. To learn more about Chant check out www.deepwild.org
David She'om Rose has been a member of the River Spirit
community on the South Fork Trinity River since 1980, working
on living sustainably by raising his family in a simple
way: growing most of their food, birthing their babies at
home and home-schooling their children. Realizing that true
sustainability cannot be found without an intact watershed,
in 1997 he started the "South Fork Trinity River Land
Conservancy" to protect, restore and preserve the watershed where
he lives, This realization led him to work within the
greater Klamath Watershed with other conservation groups and
the Hoopa Valley, Karuk and Yurok tribes. In 2005 David
organized a hiking and raft trip called "Journey to the Sea" to
unite people throughout the Klamath Watershed and to call
attention to the plight of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers
(www.northcoastjournal.com/061605/cover0616.html). One of
David's first environmental defense actions was to offer to
manually clear brush from an old clear-cut in his watershed,
in order to prevent it from being sprayed with herbicides.
Devon Strong, founder Four Eagles Farm -- Devon was raised
on western ranches working domestic animals and irrigated
crops. After college (Cal Poly 1975) he discovered the
traditional practices of the Lakota people, enhancing his
connection to the land and animals he works with. Later, he
discovered the Biodynamic farming complement to traditional
ceremonies and started raising bison in the late 80's.
Through association with the Oregon Biodynamic Group. as well as
adopted family ties to the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, he
continues to bring together the old meaning of the Sacred
Hoop, a deeper understanding of the inter-relationhsip of all
things. Devon started the first CSA in the Rogue Valley and
is the first nationally to start using bison with
biodynamics.
Julie Norman, Siskiyou Project -- Julie has a B.A. in
mathematics and an MA in computer science from the University of
Texas. She has worked as a programmer for IBM and as a
whitewater rafting guide. She has been involved in forest
protection campaigns since 1975. From 1987 - 1998 she was
president of Headwaters Environmental Center in Ashland,
Oregon, was an invited speaker at the "Timber Summit" organized
by President Clinton in 1993 that resulted in the
Northwest Forest Plan, and was a major regional and national
spokesperson in the campaign to save the ancient forests. In
1988 she received the Wilderness Society Environmental Hero
Award. She now works for the Siskiyou Project on special
educational projects like the Klamath-Siskiyou documentary
film. She has recently been Interim Executive Director for
Siskiyou Project, whose mission is permanently protecting the
globally outstanding Klamath-Siskiyou forests, especially
those around the Siskiyou National Forest. See
www.siskiyou.org
Lois & Leonard Houston (Blackfoot & Takelma) focus on
restoring Beavers, the principal architects of Salmon habitat
now missing from most streams. They work with local
landowners to re-locate problem animals in places where they can
thrive. Together, Leonard & Lois will make a single
presentation. They are considered family by many of the Cow Creek
Tribe, and have shared this land and culture most of their
lives.
Stan Petrowski works on stream and Salmon habitat
restoration. Coho Salmon have returned to Joe Hall Creek for the
first time in over 50 years. Stan and his wife Alexandra
discovered this from their homestead on the creek at Singing
Falls, where they raise Mohair Sheep, spin & weave the wool,
and sell beautiful products, from fleece to handwoven lap
blankets, scarves, throws and rugs (www.singingfalls.com).

of her great-grandmother, Taowhywee, a medicine woman and
shaman, and her grandfather, George Harney, the first
elected Chief of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz, who honor her
as a "Living Legend." She has restored the ancient Sacred
Salmon Ceremony on the Rogue River, and is a "Voice for
the Voiceless" speaking out for the protection of our sacred
waters worldwide. Aggie is the eldest, and the Chair, of

Bobcat (Robert Brothers, Ph.D.) was inspired by two years
of intense wilderness living (and one talk by John Trudell)
to put his Harvard and UC Berkeley education to work for
Mother Earth and all our relations. He has organized civil
disobedience for Earth First! Siskiyou; worked with
scientists, attorneys, and media for Headwaters and a coalition of
twenty other groups to stop the clearcutting of 9 million
acres of ancient forests in the coastal Pacific Northwest;

and with Julie Norman setting up the Agnes Baker Pilgrim
Fund.
Chuck Jackson (Takelma, Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians)
-- Chuck is a much-honored Elder from the South Umpqua who
is very active in maintaining and restoring Indian culture
and ceremonies. As a boy, he loved to listen to elders
tell stories, and recalls how they so vividly described the
eruption of Mt. Mazama (which formed Crater Lake) that he
thought it happened recently, and was surprised to later learn
that it was 7,000 years ago.
Dennis Martinez (O'odham/Chicano), co-chair, Indigenous
People's Restoration Network and co-chair, Takelma Intertribal
Project - Dennis has been a leader for the last 20 years
in bringing Native perspectives into mainstream science, via
his founding of the Indigenous Peoples Restoration Network
within the scholarly Society for Ecological Restoration
(www.ser/iprn). Most of his time has been spent getting to
know the land, and then tenaciously speaking for it. As
co-founder of the Takelma Intertribal Project with Grandmother
Agnes Baker Pilgrim, via negotiations with the U.S. Forest
Service he helped to secure the site for the restoration
of the Sacred Salmon Ceremony on the Applegate River in
1994. He was a finalist for the 2001 Buffett Award for
Indigenous Leadership in Conservation. For more biographical
info, see www.ecotrust.org/buffettaward/2001/dennis.html
Marko Bey, co-founder and Operational Director, Lomakatsi
Restoration Project (www.lomakatsi.org) and Lomakatsi
Ecological Services. -- Tired of planting douglas-fir monocrops
in devasted industry clearcuts, Marko and Justin
Cullumbine formed a new non-profit organization to show how things
can be done in a better way. Lomakatsi's purpose is "To
organize and implement community based ecological restoration
projects through education, vocational training,
specialized workforce development and the utilization of restoration
by-products, encouraging the recovery of ecosystems and the
sustainability of communities, cultures and economies."
Now a leader in the field of ecological restoration,
Lomakatsi played a major role in the new guidelines for Sierra
Nevada forests, and is setting precedent for
ecologically-sensitive stewardship contracting on federal lands, thinning to
reduce fire hazards and encourage the regrowth of habitat
for the threatened northern spotted owl. A new for-profit
corporation, Lomakatsi Ecological Services, was recently
formed to help ensure that the 35 person work force stays
busy.

-Volunteer Day Opportunity! clean up the Wild and Scenic Illinois River Sep 21
Come help us clean up the Wild and Scenic Illinois River, around Six Mile. On Friday, September 21, please meet at the Six Mile parking lot, on the Illinois River Road at NOON .
Serena Barry, a local student at SOU is helping the Siskiyou Project and the Forest Service to get this clean up done before the winter rains wash it all downriver. We will spend the afternoon gathering trash from the river areas and dropping the trash bags at a central location for pick up by the Forest Service.
You will be rewarded for your efforts by Joel King, our Wild Rivers District Ranger, who has offered to cook beef and vegie-burgers for the volunteers at the end of the afternoon. Please come prepared with sturdy shoes, clothes, gloves, and water. Let’s work together!
Hopefully we will show our community how much we care for the health of the river and the salmon and wildlife that depend on it.
For more information, please call Kindi Fahrnkopf at 592-4459, or email: kindi@siskiyou.org

-Citizen Forum on BLM's new Draft Plans October 2nd at 7 pm in Cave Junction
at the County Building sponsored by the Oregon Heritage Forest Campaign
Join the Oregon Heritage Forests campaign Tuesday, October 2nd at 7pm in Cave Junction for a presentation on the recently released management plans for BLM lands in western Oregon.
The Bureau of Land Management released draft plans (the WOPR) on August 10th to dramatically ramp up logging on public land in western Oregon. They are promoting clearcutting old-growth forests and reducing protections for salmon-bearing creeks. This is a grave threat to Oregon?s remaining ancient forests. Most Americans want federal agencies to embrace thinning second growth, safeguard communities from wildfire, and protect what remains of our nation?s ancient forests. Join us to learn, discuss and take action for the future of Oregon's public forests and rivers, at the Cave Junction County Building, 102 S Redwood Highway.
For more information, visit http://www.oregonheritageforests.org or call Siskiyou Project at 592-4459 or KS-Wild at 488-5789.

-[ashland-community-action] Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Problem Solving plan, public hearing Sep 24 & Oct 10
Dear Residents of Jackson County :
If you care about how the cities in the Greater Bear Creek Valley will grow in the future, about what happens to the farm land that remains here, about traffic, clean water, schools and jobs, then you might be interested to know that there is a plan being considered that will have an impact on all of these things for decades to come.
After more than eight years of meetings and negotiations, the Regional Problem Solving (RPS) plan is ready for public review and comment. Citizens who are concerned about the future of the Bear Creek Valley are encouraged to review the plan and to provide input at public hearings scheduled for September 24 and October 10.
If you live in or near Ashland, Central Point, Eagle Point, Jacksonville, Medford, Phoenix or Talent, this plan will affect you and the places we leave for our children and grandchildren. The plan will guide growth for several decades--the time it takes the population of the region to double from about 160,000 to 320,000 people. It will dictate which lands are priorities for urban expansion, what farm land may be sacrificed, and which will be left for use as farms. Decisions made under this plan will determine where future may roads go, whether or not public transit will be feasible, and where stores and employment centers may be located.
Learn more about the process and review the plan at the following links:
What is Regional Problem Solving in the Greater Bear Creek Valley?
See a copy of THE PLAN that will be considered at the hearings.
(Chapter 1 provides a good introduction; Chapter 5 provides details of each city's proposal.) MAPS showing proposed growth areas.
The Goals and Policies the plan is supposed to address.
If you need additional information or have questions, you can contact the city you live in or the Rogue Valley Council of Governments. I would also be happy to answer any questions you might have or help you figure out the most effective way to provide your comments on the plan.
Public input is being sought at two public hearings scheduled in the weeks to come:
Monday, September 24, 2007, in the Jackson County Public Works Auditorium, 200 Antelope Road, White City, and
Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at the Talent Community Center , 206 East Main in Talent.
Both hearings will begin at 5:30. You do not have to arrive promptly at the beginning of the hearing to testify. Copies of the plan and the maps showing proposed growth areas will be available for review, and representatives from the jurisdictions will be there to answer questions for those interested in testifying. Both written and verbal comments will be accepted at the hearings. Written comments can also be mailed (before October 10) to the Rogue Valley Council of Governments, P.O. Box 3275 , Central Point , Oregon , 97502 .
If you have any additional questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me,
Thank you,
Greg
