Public comment open on proposed rules governing issuance of archaeological permits, public meeting May 25

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), part of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), is requesting public comment on proposed Oregon Administrative Rule changes that govern how the state issues archaeological permits. The deadline for comments is 5 p.m. July 1, 2022.

State law requires a permit for archaeological excavation or collection of archaeological objects on public land. Permits are also required for archaeological excavation within an archaeological site on private land.

A virtual public meeting is scheduled to review the proposed rule and take comments at 6 p.m. May 25. Registration is required for anyone wishing to testify at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Cmu5jrPsSAWZdaEizFG-Ow
The hearing will be streamed live at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkqL6iVPBrfCTO27cNmCTwg

A full copy of the proposed amendments is available on the Proposed OPRD Rules web page at https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PRP/Pages/PRP-rulemaking.aspx

Writing on the Landscape: Reimagining Monuments and Memorials, Oregon Humanities virtual event May 24

Writing on the Landscape: Reimagining Monuments and Memorials
May 24, 2022 | 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Pacific | Virtual Event
Online, statewide & beyond

Indigenous people have been here since time immemorial. A time older than anyone can remember, and for the people of Western Oregon, that is a very long time ago. Whether it be ancestral stories that tell of a land bridge over the Columbia River, the eruption of Mt Mazama, or the great floods of the Willamette Valley that occurred between 13,000 and 18,000 years ago, the Indigenous people of this place remember. How they go about remembering has a great deal to offer the contemporary national debate on monuments and memorials. It is important that Indigenous knowledge of where we are be shared and recognized as an integral foundation to the story of place, pertinent to present-day communities who live here. As we go about innovating and envisioning new approaches to the design of monuments and memorials, it is important for us to think about how Indigenous knowledge and practices of placekeeping can inform that conversation.

In Spring 2021, the Oregon art organization, Converge 45, started Portland's Monuments & Memorials Project (PMMP), a year-long project co-led by Jess Perlitz & Mack McFarland. PMMP joined in the national debate to consider the conditions and impacts of public monuments, including those that have been removed in Portland and those that should be built. David Harrelson, Cultural Resources Manager for Grand Ronde, convened a team of staff and tribal members for a conversation to talk about what would make a good monument. One of the goals was to ensure that the Indigenous people of Portland and their perspectives were represented in the ideas brought forward from PMMP. The tribal participants in the discussions felt acutely aware that indigenous story and knowledge of place is rarely centered or focused upon, and yet its presence here is fundamental, having never ceased to exist.

Join David Harrelson and Jess Perlitz in this workshop, where they will share thoughts and considerations about the contemporary monument and memorial discussion. Using two proposals submitted by Grand Ronde as test cases, they will discuss some of the ideas and issues at stake. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in smaller group conversation to talk about what is being debated, how we go about reimagining, and what examples we already have that we can turn to for guidance and inspiration.

Oregon Historical Society provides historic context resources on current events

In response to violent racist events this past weekend in Buffalo, New York, Oregon Historical Society provided the following response in the May E-Digest, Vol. 3 on May 19, 2022 which includes some opportunities to learn more about the history of white supremacy in Oregon:

"The Oregon Historical Society joins with our community in mourning the racist violence of the past weekend, when a young, white, male gunman attacked the mostly Black shoppers at a supermarket in a segregated neighborhood in Buffalo, New York. The work of historians and community leaders makes clear that an attack such as this one is not an isolated event but, rather, an extreme incident within longstanding structures of white supremacy that make life dangerous for Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, and Jewish people in our nation. Such structural dangers have been demonstrated recently by, for example, extreme disparities in the affects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

OHS is grateful to have had many opportunities to host and share scholarship and public resources from people who have carefully explored the complex history of white supremacy and its influences on the present.

A few of these include:
