  • Looking for Ishi: Insurgent Movements Through the Yahi Landscape Christopher August University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
    Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Looking for Ishi: Insurgent Movements through the Yahi Landscape Christopher August University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA In memory of Christopher August who recently passed away. He was excited about meeting all of you and so, with great appreciation for his work, we include his last contribution to research. Abstract In 1911 a Yahi man wandered out of the Northern California landscape and into the twentieth century. He was immediately collected and installed at the just opened Anthropology Museum by Alfred Kroeber at the University of California's Parnassus Heights campus. Dedication invitations came from the U.C. Regents led by Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Maintaining the discretion of his indigenous culture this man would not divulge his name. Kroeber named him Ishi, the Yahi word for man. These assembled facts introduce narrative streams that continue to unfold around us. To examine these contingent individuals, events and institutions collectively labeled Ishi myth is to examine our own posi- tion, our horizon. Looking for Ishi is a series of interventions and appropriations of Ishi myth involving video installation, looping DVD, encrypted motion images, web work, streaming video, print objects, written and spoken word, and documentation of the author's own insurgent movements through the Yahi landscape. [The following is a summary of an art, writing, and media project in progress.] Keywords : Ishi, canon, insurgent, media, institutions Ishi In 1911 a Yahi man wandered out of the Northern California landscape and into the twentieth century. He was immediately collected and installed at the just opened Anthropology Museum by Alfred Kroeber at the University of California's Parnassus Heights campus.

    Get Ready to Explore! Drive 187 miles of unparalleled beauty. Discover a geological playground. Hike to alpine snowfields. Relax at quiet lakes while raptors soar overhead. Trace the footsteps of Gold Rush emigrants. Discover the heritage of northern California. Welcome to the Lassen National Forest Backcountry Discovery Trail! Know Before You Go The Lassen Backcountry Discovery Trail was established to invite exploration of the remote areas of the Lassen backcountry. The Trail generally follows gravel and dirt roads and is intended for high clearance street- legal vehicles. Expect rough road conditions and slow travel through remote country. Be prepared for downed trees or rocks on the road. Much of the route is under snow in the winter Volcanic views and early spring. There are no restaurants, grocery stores, or gas stations along the main route and cell phone coverage is intermittent. Introduction ~ ~ Stay Current Off-road motor vehicle travel is prohibited in the Lassen National Forest; please stay on designated routes. Call any forest office for updated road condition and project work information that may affect your travel plans. Periodic updates to the Trail maps in this Guide may occur to reflect changes in vehicle use or other revisions.

  • Corridor 15-104 Section 368 Energy Corridor Regional Reviews - Region 5 May 2019 Corridor 15-104 Honey Lake Corridor
    Corridor 15-104 Section 368 Energy Corridor Regional Reviews - Region 5 May 2019 Corridor 15-104 Honey Lake Corridor Corridor Purpose and Rationale The corridor runs north-south along Highway 395. The corridor connects multiple Section 368 energy corridors, creating a continuous corridor network across BLM- and USFS-administered lands between Reno, Nevada, and California. The corridor provides a link to the Reno area where renewable energy is in demand. Input regarding alignment from the Western Utility Group during the WWEC PEIS suggested following this route. There is an application for a gen-tie transmission line to connect the proposed Fish Springs Solar Project (a PV solar project that would be constructed on private lands) to the existing transmission line within the corridor. The proposed Bordertown to California 120kV Transmission Line would be located at the substation at MP 5 and would utilize approximately 0.4 miles of the corridor. Future development within the corridor could be limited between MP 107 and MP 114 because of the reduced corridor width. Corridor location: Corridor history: California (Lassen and Sierra Co.); Nevada - Locally designated prior to 2009 (N) (Washoe Co.) - Existing infrastructure (Y) BLM: Applegate, Eagle Lake, and Sierra • A 345-kV transmission line is within Front Field Offices or adjacent to the entire length of USFS: Humboldt-Toiyabe NF the corridor. Two 345-kV Regional Review Region: Region 5 transmission lines follow a portion of the corridor. Corridor width, length: • A natural gas pipeline is within and Width 500 ft in Applegate FO; 3,500 ft in adjacent to a portion of the corridor.

    February 3, 2020 Washoe County Commission 1001 E. Ninth Street Reno, NV 89512 Dear Commissioners: On behalf of The Wilderness Society and our more than one million members and supporters, we write to offer our comments on the proposed Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act. We appreciate your efforts to develop this legislation. CONSERVATION AREAS AND WILDERNESS The Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act presents an opportunity to preserve public lands with exceptionally high wildland conservation value. CONSERVATION AREAS The Wilderness Society conducted a comprehensive scientific analysis of the wildland conservation value of public lands in Washoe County. Our analysis found that public lands in the county contain exceptionally high wildland conservation value, including several areas that are within the top five percent of wildlands conservation value nationally. A copy of the proposal is attached. Based on that analysis, we recommend the establishment of three new national conservation areas, and the expansion of the existing Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. Our proposals, which are attached, include: • North Hays Range National Conservation Area - 237,000 acres • Boulder Mountain National Conservation Area - 525,400 acres • Smoke Creek National Conservation Area - 121,300 acres • Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails NCA addition - 229,900 acres Recommendation: In order to preserve the exceptional conservation values of certain public lands in the county, include the above national conservation areas in the Truckee Meadows Public Lands Management Act. WILDERNESS In September 2018, The Wilderness Society requested that Washoe County consider protections for over 1.4 million acres of eligible wilderness within the county.
