  • Historic Sod House Ranch Malheur National Wildlife Refuge/Oregon
    Historic Sod House Ranch Malheur National Wildlife Refuge/Oregon Sod House Ranch is an intact 1880s era cattle ranch constructed and managed by cattle baron Peter French. At the peak of its operation, it was the largest cattle ranch on private property in the United States. Today, this historical legacy is preserved at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where it serves showcases the cattle ranching heritage of southeastern Oregon. The ranch, particularly its unique long barn (Figure 3), has been the focus of restoration efforts for the past five years. Despite its location more than 160 miles from the nearest urban center, this spectacular barn has drawn the interest and support of many diverse partners, including the University of Oregon Architectural Field School, AmeriCorps, Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, Harney County Historical Society, Malheur Wildlife Associates, the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office; National Park Service, Architectural Division Youth Conservation Corps, and the High Desert Museum Teen Volunteers. Recently, the refuge hosted a Ranching Heritage Day at the site to celebrate completion of the barn restoration, as well as repairs to nine other buildings and construction of a Centennial Trail to facilitate visitation. The ranch has been the site of historical re-creations and has spurred a teaching curriculum and heritage education. It has received grant funding from the Service Challenge Cost Share program, Service Centennial Challenge Cost Share program, Preserving Oregon for Historic Properties, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

  • Constituent Power from Cultural Practice: Implications from the Malheur Wildlife Refuge Occupation
    Constituent Power from Cultural Practice: Implications from the Malheur Wildlife Refuge Occupation Juho Turpeinen Introduction I present here a defence of the people as the subject of constituent power, a case against ardently utopian thinking.1 The conjunctures in which bounded political entities are constituted are messy and problematic, but not hopeless or dystopian. This is to say, oppressive power relations are not always only oppressive, but should be viewed in context. The armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which took place in Oregon in 2016, makes for an illustrative case study of political identity formation, the foundation of a political regime rooted in popular rule.2 How are such identities, the discursively constructed subject positions of democracy, possible in the first place? What allows for them to be called democratic? What role does land play in this process? Adopting the cultural studies ethos of studying not only meaning, but how meaning is produced, I approach the question of the people as the subject of constituent power by arguing for an interpretation of sovereignty as cultural practices of meaning- making, as discursive struggles over cultural meaning that challenge and are challenged by relations of power. Sovereignty as cultural practice gives us a framework for understanding these processes of identity formation on three related and synchronous levels of politics. This approach should not be confused with ‘cultural sovereignty’, whether defined as a kind of bundle of intellectual property rights protective of indigenous cultures,3 or as a normative political project that posits the right to define ‘sovereignty’ from within indigenous cultures, and in which tradition is to form the foundation of group identity and political action.4 I do, however, share with this latter conceptualisation an effort to reconsider the relationships between law, politics, and culture.

  • 2021 Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    Implementation Progress Update 2021 This document is an implementation summary of the Collaborative Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) between January 2013 and September of 2018. During this period significant effort was directed towards improving ecological function of aquatic systems, the highest CCP priority. Efforts were focused on Malheur Lake based on collaborative conversations and intercontinental importance to migratory birds. Resulting from extensive interactions it became clear Malheur Lake is both unique and a poorly understood ecosystem. With this as the bases to start from and through testing possible monitoring/ management techniques, it became clear a strategic ecological system approach was required. This resulted in beginning the development of a Malheur Lake systems model that would enable transfer of knowledge through time and test/inform future management decisions. Resources were also directed towards social and economic analysis to strengthen future management decisions and develop implementation resources. The other major component of improving Refuge aquatic health was development of an integrated wetland/river plan. Advancing efforts on Malheur Lake required significant commitments of resources from the Refuge and partners. This necessary commitment of resources prevented work on integrated wetland/river planning and testing. The Ecology Work Group (established in the CCP) focused on obtaining data in wet meadow habitats related to the grazing and haying program through independent third party monitoring. This collaborative effort recognized the need for developing a state and transition model. Due to habitat configurations it was found not possible to fully develop needed science on Refuge lands alone. The scientific effort was then expanded to other parts of the Basin with support from Refuge permittee resources.
