This exhibit, guest-curated by University of Oregon student Marisol Peters (class of 2027, Karuk), explores Indigenous land relationships in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Working at the intersections between the land, water, culture and history, "The Land We Have Always Known" asks us to re-evaluate our beliefs about our more-than-human relatives and consider ways in which we can heal our world by changing the way we relate to the land.

Between 1975-1980, after major public takeovers of the Red Power movement, Native American activism shifted significantly from a domestic agenda to an international Indigenous initiative in the fight for sovereignty, self-determination, and human rights. My project explores how Native American activists and organizations, namely the National Congress of the American Indian and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, utilized international human rights frameworks like the Helsinki Accords to bring attention to the human rights violations against Native Americans and influence emerging policies during the Carter Administration.

 

Plenary Speakers: David G. Lewis (Anthropology, Oregon State University); Jerry Franklin . (Forest Ecology Emeritus, University of Washington); Katharine Cashman (Volcanology, University of Oregon)
