SUMMARY:The Cowlitz Tribe: An Enduring Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum is excited to welcome Cowlitz Tanna Engdahl\, as she presents “The Cowlitz Tribe: An Enduring Legacy” for September’s CCHM Speaker Series. The event will occur on Thursday\, September 7\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.  \nJoin Cowlitz Tribe Elder and Spiritual Leader\, Tanna Engdahl\, as she presents the history of the Cowlitz Tribe\, their struggles both before and after the Treaty Era\, and the ongoing legacy of their stewardship of their traditional lands. \nSince the beginning of time\, the Cowlitz Tribe have nurtured the lands and waters throughout major parts of Southwest Washington. Like many of this country’s First People\, the Cowlitz have dealt with significant challenges since initial contact with the Europeans and the Americans that came after them. Despite all this\, the People endure and remain a vibrant part of Southwest Washington. Their contribution to the natural and cultural landscape continues today through their charitable giving\, environmental expertise\, and the sharing of their stories and knowledge.  \nTanna Engdahl is an Elder and Spiritual Leader in the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. At the beginning of her career\, Tanna competed for a special scholarship to Columbia University and was hired by KIRO-TV as the first major-market American Indian TV news reporter in the U.S. At the same time\, she served as the Tribe’s Vice-President. \nShe left the newsroom to engage in a thirty-year career in public land agencies: Bureau of Indian Affairs\, Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. During that time\, she was selected to a Federal Leadership Academy and spent many years in management positions.  \nIn this role\, she encouraged Federal sensitivity to tribal sacred sites and was in the forefront of a movement to establish Indian cultural committees within the Government. Upon retirement\, she joined Mike Iyall\, the Tribe’s senior historian\, in presenting Cowlitz history to schools\, colleges\, community organizations\, Federal and State agencies and other public venues. She also champions conservation projects and health programs for which the Cowlitz Tribe is known for.   \nAs a volunteer\, Tanna serves on the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge Board and Washington State University’s Native American Board Community Advisory Board. Her spiritual work is dedicated to Tribal activities and events. She also officiates at weddings\, funerals and other lifeway celebrations.    \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission and League of Women Voters of Clark County. General admission is $5; seniors and students are $4; children under 18 are $3; and the evening is free for CCHM members\, veterans\, and active-duty military personnel.  \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Will the 2020s Roar like the 1920s?
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum and Humanities Washington\, as part of the 2023 CCHM Speaker Series\, are excited to have William Woodward bring his thought-provoking presentation “Will the 2020s Roar like the 1920s?” to Southwest Washington. The event will occur on Thursday\, August 3\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.  \nA pandemic\, protests\, and economic jolts ushered in the so-called “Roaring Twenties.” Americans adjusted in ways both innovative and counterproductive. What lessons from the 1920s can we apply to our own looming 20s? \nHistorian William Woodward charts the eerily familiar developments of a century ago: shattered idealism\, social clashes\, domestic terrorism\, culture wars\, disorienting technologies\, and fearsome disease. How might stories from a particular moment in the past—one with remarkable parallels to the present—shed light on ways for us to move forward? As the 2020s unfold\, what conversations should we have? \nWilliam Woodward (he/him) is an award-winning professor of American and Pacific Northwest history at Seattle Pacific University. His teaching\, research\, and writing focus on iconic elements of regional and national culture\, including the military and baseball. His co-authored pictorial history of the Washington National Guard was released in 2019. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College\, as well as a master’s degree and PhD from Georgetown University. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Humanities Washington and Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. Thanks to support from Humanities Washington this event is free to the public.  \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:North Clark Historical Museum: Interpretive Plaque Dedication
DESCRIPTION:The North Clark Historical Museum (NCHM) in partnership with the Hannah Mayhew Daggett Chapter\, National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century\, in Vancouver\, Washington (CDXVIIC) and the Clark County Historical Museum (CCHM) will dedicate a new historical interpretive plaque at the North Clark Historical Museum (21416 NE 399th St\, Amboy\, WA 98601) on Sunday\, July 9\, 2023 at 2:00 pm.\n\nThe event will include a welcome and dedication by North Clark Historical Museum Board President Debi Zitt\, remarks from Cynthia Swanson\, State Marking & Preservation Chair of CDXVIIC\, and brief comments from the Clark County Historical Museum Executive Director Brad Richardson. This new historical interpretive plaque highlights the important history of the Amboy United Brethren Church which houses the North Clark Historical Museum.\nThe Museum in upper Amboy that looks like a church holds many secrets from the past. Once a church built in 1910\, it is presently the home of many relics of the northwest. In 1988 a few concerned Amboy residents rescued the church from the wrecking ball and filled it with treasures of the past for all to enjoy. In addition to the inside exhibits a number of outdoor exhibits have been added. Less than a one-hour drive from I-5 via Vancouver\, Battle Ground\, or Woodland\, the scenic drive is well worth it.\n\nIn the midst of the natural beauties of North Clark County Washington\, the Museum delightfully compliments fishing\, camping\, boating\, hiking\, and many other attractions. In Yacolt\, enjoy a ride on one of the last steam driven railroads in the country. An hour north\, you can visit the south rim of Mount St. Helens. Ask at the Museum for directions to marvelous local attractions you can visit.\n\nThis plaque is a product of the CCHM Historic Buildings Plaque Program\, which is designed to provide interpretive plaques for buildings\, structures\, and/or locations. Sites are selected by the CCHM and their partners and must be recognized on local\, state\, and/or national registers of historic places. Funds for this program are provided by the Courtney Irvin Foundation and require a match. The Hannah Mayhew Daggett Chapter\, National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century\, in Vancouver\, Washington have generously provided the match for this plaque.
