THE IMPACT OF THE OREGON CULTURAL TRUST iii Preface and Acknowledgments Faculty in the University of Oregon’s Arts and Administration Program and its affiliated research center, the Center for Community Arts and Cultural Policy, have had a long professional affiliation with cultural agencies and organizations throughout the state. Preliminary discussions with Oregon Cultural Trust (OCT) leadership began in fall 2016 to explore whether the OCT Partners might be interested in engaging a study on the cultural policy ecology of the state. A subsequent preliminary conversation took place with the Trust executive director and manager regarding development of this year-long professional project (comprised of a faculty member and team of graduate students) to study the Oregon Cultural Trust throughout the 2017-2018 academic year. This study was designed to take place as a complementary – but not duplicative – process to the advocacy-focused impact report commissioned by the Trust, which took place in the same time period as this University of Oregon study.

Teachers, however, will need to consider the level and needs of their students in adapting these materials and lessons. Goals • To introduce students to the history and culture of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal communities • To introduce students to the life ways, traditions, rituals and ceremonies of each of the nine tribal communities through their art and art forms (ancient techniques, materials, preparation, and cultural guidelines and practices) • To understand the relevance of continuity to a culture Objectives Students will be able to • Discuss works of art and different art forms in relation to the history and culture of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal communities • Discuss various traditional art forms as reflected in the objects and performances represented in the exhibition • Identify a number of traditional techniques, including weaving, beadwork and carving • Discuss tradition and renewal in the art forms of the nine tribal communities and their relationship to the life ways, traditions and rituals of the communities • Make connections to other disciplines Preparing for the tour: • If possible, visit the exhibition on your own beforehand. • Using the images (print out transparencies or sets for students, create a bulletin board, etc.) and information in the teacher packet, create a pre-tour lesson plan for the classroom to support and complement the gallery experience.

  • Heart of the Palus
    Acknowledgements Heart of the Palús received funding from the Walla Walla District Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the Federal Columbia River Power System. This book is part of a Public Awareness Plan to promote public interpretative programs and cultural resource stewardship. The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation History/Archaeology Program provided the background research and expertise for the storybook narrative and illustrations. Much of the history of the Palús people comes from Colville tribal elders, Palús and Nez Perce, who over the years shared their stories with History/Archaeology Program staff for future research and education. The History/Archaeology Program is guided by the Colville Business Council who supports cultural resource management in the traditional territories of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Dedication We dedicated this book to the tribal elders who came before us, and to the future generations who will continue our traditions. About the Author/Illustrator Author, L.E.

  • Constructing Public Dialogue
    Chapter Three Dissertation Excerpt of Constructing public dialogue: A critical discourse analysis of the discourse practices that shape civic engagement in Portland, Oregon by Julie B. Odell School of Urban Studies and Planning Portland State University Executive Director Center for Public Participation Portland State University Chapter Three “Indeed, each of us knows and uses certain parts of the metropolitan area and ignores others, living in regions of our own devising. The ways these personalized spatial worlds relate to each other are creating larger metropolitan patterns that we are still struggling to understand. In effect, our project is to make more visible the invisible patterns of daily life . In Portland, in short, we see multiple meanings of community, multiple understandings of the future, and multiple uses of the past in service to that future” (Abbott, 2001). Every year hundreds of people from around the world visit Portland to learn about its innovative programs in urban planning, environmental sustainability, and public participation, among others. They want to know what is different about Portland, and what they can do to replicate these programs where they live. This chapter explores some of the underlying social structures and historical factors that contributed to the development of and continue to maintain “The Portland Way.” It examines, in particular, the Portland Way’s approach to practices of citizenship. It is within this broader social context that the Summit discourses occur, and this chapter lays the foundation within which the Summit discourses are analyzed. The Portland Way On March 7, 2003, Ira Flatow hosted National Public Radio’s “Talk of the Nation: Science Friday” program in Portland.
