Red Earth Descendants is hosting First Nations Day and a Native EcoSymposium which will centerpiece a West Coast Memorial for our beloved Elder, Corbin Harney, September 28-30 in Ashland at the Briscoe Art Wing. The Memorial will take place at Noon on Saturday. Symposium sessions will take place Friday evening, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. We will also host a Longhouse Ceremony Sunday morning in honor of Corbin. Red Earth Descendants (R.E.D.) will host their first annual EcoSymposium/First Nations Day Celebration. The free event includes prayer, ceremony, music, and nationally recognized Native American and Environmentalist
speakers concerned about "our Earth and our Future Generations."
The symposium's centerpiece will be a Memorial for Corbin Harney, Western Shoshone spiritual leader an environmentalist, beginning Saturday, Sept. 29 at Noon. "We are honored to build our EcoSymposium around this Memorial to celebrate Corbin's work as an environmental warrior, profound international speaker, healer and advocate for his People," the R.E.D. steering committee announced. "We are grateful to Corbin's relatives for gifting us with their trust in helping our communities mourn, heal and carry on Corbin's astounding vision and work." For more on Corbin, see below, and http://www.shundahai.org)
A spirit of prayer and ceremony will be maintained throughout the weekend by the Whistling Elk Drum Group, Ed Little Crow, Agnes Baker Pilgrim, and others. Demonstrations highlighting recycling, alternative energy solutions, and other environmental issues will focus on the practical details of everyone's role in saving the Earth.
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
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.

Mt. Ashland Expansion Newsletter
Ninth Circuit opinion filed in favor of Plaintiffs-Appellants
Mt. Ashland Expansion has been stopped by the United States Court of Appeals
The appellants challenged the USFS's approval of the proposed expansion of the Mt Ashland Ski Area. The District court granted summary judgment in favor of the Forest Service, finding it had not violated NEPA or the NFMA (National Forest Management Act) in authorizing the MASA expansion. The opinion written by Judge Milan D Smith, Jr and filed today, holds that the FS failed to properly evaluate the impact of the proposed MASA expansion on the Pacific fisher, is in violation of both the NEPA and the NFMA, and that it violated the NFMA by failing to appropriately designate Riparian Reserves and Restricted Watershed terrain, as required by the Rogue River National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan and the Northwest Forest Plan. The Ninth Circuit has reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the FS and remanded to the district court for issuance of the injunction specified in their opinion.

-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 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:

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:
Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at the Talent Community Center , 206 East Main in Talent. The hearing 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--
