Space sold by Elsevier From my perspective ike the rest of the nation, we at the American College of Surgeons were deeply saddened by the human toll that Hurricane LKatrina wrought on New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf coast region this summer. In the wake of such enormous tragedy, we simply wouldn’t be human if we didn’t feel a tremendous sense of loss and vulnerability. These feelings of helplessness are particularly frustrating for members of the medical and surgical professions. We are trained to take control when catastrophe, natural or manmade, strikes. To the medical professionals We plunge into the maelstrom and try to salvage as many lives as possible. who fought to save lives under It’s not surprising, therefore, that so many “ physicians, residents, interns, nurses, and even the most grueling and primitive administrative staff stayed at their institutions throughout the hurricane and in its aftermath of circumstances, we extend our to ensure that patients were evacuated safely. I’ve heard several surgeons recount instances in thanks and admiration. which they or their residents dodged gunfire to get patients onto helicopters, worked handheld ventilators to keep children alive, and carried ’’ patients down darkened stairwells on their backs. Such heroics warrant our most profound respect and deepest thanks. We will highlight some of these stories in an upcoming issue of the Bulletin.

They have been doing so since time immemorial, an important indigenous concept which describes a time continuum that spans from ancient times to present day. In post- contact years, interactions expanded to include explorers, traders and missionaries, who brought with them new opportunities for trade and intermarriage as well as the devastating circumstances brought by disease, warfare, and the reservation era. Through cultural adaptation and uninterrupted treaty rights, the CTUIR never ceased to continue to travel to the lower Columbia and Willamette River and falls for seasonal traditional practice and for other purposes.

Its inspiration came from Carlos Schwantes historical survey, The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History which provides a glimpse of national events in American history through a regional approach. David Peterson Del Mar’s Oregon Promise: An Interpretive History has a similar approach as Schwantes, it is a reflective social and cultural history of the state’s diversity. The text offers a broad perspective of various ethnicities, political figures, and marginalized identities.

    Broken Treaties: An Oral History Tracing Oregon's Native Population by Eric Cain and John Rosman Follow OPB March 20, 2017 6:30 p.m. | Updated: March 22, 2017 12:22 p.m. “We have been here since time began,” Don Ivy, chief of the Coquille Indian Tribe, said. “We have been here since the first human got here.” For thousands of years, more than 60 tribes lived in Oregon’s diverse environmental regions. At least 18 languages were spoken across hundreds of villages. Natural resources abounded. “Before the non-Indians got here, we were some of the richest people in the world,” said Louie Pitt Jr., director of governmental affairs for the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs. “Oregon has been 100 percent Indian land.” After thousands of years of history, life as the native people knew it was upended in just a few short decades. For the new “Oregon Experience” documentary “Broken Treaties,” native Oregonians reflect on what has been lost since and what’s next for their tribes. The following quotes have been edited for clarity. What Once Was For most of history, Oregon wasn’t divided by lines on a map. It contained four distinct regions that varied in terrain, climate and resources. These variations shaped the way people lived. (The map below shows the cultural and language groups that existed prior to contact with settlers, and what the landscape of official reservations looks like today.) “Each of their landscapes, each of their geographic areas dictated their traditions, dictated their technologies, decided their relationships with others.

Interpreting Frenchtown: Overview Interpreting Frenchtown: Summary of Themes Interpretive Themes Place: The Origins of Western Frenchtowns A Continental Network Practices Native American Land Use French-Canadian Land Use Allotting the Reservations Peoples Missionary Culture Wars The Catholic Ladder The Protestant Ladder Washani: Dreamer-Prophets of the Columbia Plateau Community Exodus Forms of Interpretation Best Practices Annotated Bibliography Tribes of the Columbia Plateau Fur trade, French-Canadians, and métis communities Catholicism and Missionaries in the West 19th-Century Life Reservations, Land, and Conflict 1 Introduction What is the Frenchtown Historical Foundation Research Guide? Like an interpretive plan, a research guide defines principles for research and interpretive development for an area of historical interest. It is most commonly developed for internal use by an organization that interacts with visitors, such as a national park. The need for such reflection is clear. History is not merely the record of past events. It is also the narrative of those events. Perspectives on many issues–race, gender, the environment–have changed since the early 20th century. These changes in how we have told our history are also part of that history, as much as the events themselves. They furthermore serve to caution us about the ways that interpreting the past can perpetuate as well as document injustice or silence. Improving the quality and accessibility of education about local and regional history is the primary goal of the Frenchtown Historical Foundation Research Guide.

  • Oregon Resources the Beaver State
    Family History Sources in Oregon Resources The Beaver State Oregon History Fur trappers with the Hudson Bay Company were the first non-Native American settlers in Oregon in 1829, followed by Congregational, Methodist, and Catholic missionaries in the 1840s. Encouraged by the missionaries, between 1840 and 1860, nearly 53,000 settlers, mostly from Mississippi, Missouri, and the Ohio River valleys made the trek to Oregon. Native American tribes in Oregon included the Northern Paiute, Sahaptin, Cayuse, Nez Perce, Shoshone, and Klamath Modoc, Tillamook, Clatskanie, Takelma, Latgawa, Coquille, Umpqua, Shasta Costa, Chetco, Tolowa, Dakubetede, Siuslaw, Coos, Molalla, Chinook, Alsea, Yaquina, and Kalapulyan. Multiple wars between the original inhabitants of the area and new settlers took place in the 1800’s resulting often in the relocation of Native Americans to Indian reservations. In 1844, Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and was the capital until 1851 when it was moved to Salem. In 1855, the capital briefly moved to Corvallis, but returned to Salem within the same year. The Oregon Territory was first established in 1848 and included what are now the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Idaho. In 1853, the Territory was split into the Washington and Oregon Territories. The Washington Territory was comprised of the current state of Washington and the parts of Idaho and Montana; the Oregon Territory was current day Oregon and parts of Idaho and Washington. When Oregon became a state in 1859, the rest of the Oregon Territory became part of the Washington Territory. Oregon is the 9th largest state in terms of area and 27th in population.
