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:A Search for Acceptance: The Joys and Challenges of Clark County's LGBTQ+ Community from Early Contact Through Today
DESCRIPTION:From the life and times of Kutenai spiritual leader\, Kocomenepeca\, through the waves of public “hysteria” over homosexuality throughout the 1900s and the tragedy of Nikki Kuhnhausen in 2019\, Clark County’s lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender and queer/questioning population has long found themselves the target for criminalization\, victimization\, and erasure. Yet\, in spite of the challenges they have built a strong and vibrant community in Clark County that celebrates its rich history. With each setback\, they have continued to persevere and push for the protections and rights afforded the “straight” community. In this talk\, April will look at the history of the LGBTQ+ community in Clark County – both their struggles and their victories.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nThe Historic Music Preservation Project is dedicated to the preservation and cataloging of historic popular dance sheet music published between 1880 and 1955. \nThe organization is the sole curator of the historic Herman Kenin Dance Band Library\, a 4000+ title collection once in the possession of the famous Portland dance band leader. \nThe Historic Music Preservation Project’s commitment to introducing this music to a new audience is achieved through the performance of The Ne Plus Ultra Jazz Orchestra\, an 11 piece ensemble which presents this music exactly as it was heard in its heyday. The organization also presents a quartet\, Ensemble Gitane\, performing music from the collection is the hot jazz style of Django Reinhardt. \nSammuel’s musical interests were cultivated as a child. At age 10 his parents purchased a flute for the budding musician\, and this would remain his primary instrument until age 25\, when Sammuel purchased his first banjo ukulele. With this controversial conversion from classical culture to an instrument better suited to the comic tunes of the 1920s\, it became obvious that a period of music hitherto unknown to the young man would shape his musical career as well as his personal life. Classically trained in voice in addition to flute\, Sammuel’s period sound has been influenced largely by Joey Nash\, Rudy Vallee\, and Russ Colombo. \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. \nAttendees are encouraged to arrive early\, as seating is limited. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.

As Shine’s program will illustrate\, Williams’ journey from rural Louisiana\, through assignments at remote forts in Texas\, Oklahoma\, New Mexico\, Arizona\, Colorado\, Nebraska\, and Oregon\, reveals much about the history of the American West. \nGregory P. Shine is a historian\, writer and educator who has been connecting people to the history of the American West for over 30 years. Throughout his career\, Greg has worked for the U.S. National Park Service – including 14 years locally as the chief ranger and historian at Fort Vancouver N.H.S. – and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management\, where he currently leads the agency’s national Interpretation program. Greg also taught history at Portland State University for nearly a decade. An active community volunteer\, he is a longstanding member of the editorial board of the Oregon Encyclopedia\, a project of the Oregon Historical Society. Greg is a popular speaker on topics related to Pacific Northwest history and has appeared on episodes of PBS’s History Detectives and OPB’s Oregon Experience. Most recently\, Greg was a consulting historian to the documentary film Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts. \nBefore the main event\, see if you can figure out which tidbits of history are true and which ones are fake in our newest segment\, “A History and A Lie”. And watch as the Passages to Success crew battle for the title of “King of Trivia” during Clark County Trivia. \nAdmission to History on Tap is $15 in advance/$12 for CCHM Members\, $18 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at the Kiggins Theatre Box Office or online at kigginstheatre.com/movies/history-on-tap. \nThe History on Tap season is brought to you by My Family Guide.

SUMMARY:Hidden Histories: The South Vietnamese Side of the Vietnam War
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum and Humanities Washington\, as part of the 2023 CCHM Speaker Series\, are excited to have Julie Pham bring her impactful presentation “Hidden Histories: The South Vietnamese Side of the Vietnam War” to Southwest Washington. The event will occur on Thursday\, April 6\, 2023 in person at the Clark County Historical Museum (1511 Main Street\, Vancouver\, WA 98660). Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. \nThe Vietnam War is seen by much of the Western world as being fought between the Americans and North Vietnamese Communists\, with the South Vietnamese largely absent. Yet many Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the war served in the South Vietnamese military\, and there is little recognition and understanding of their contributions and role in the war. In fact\, in American and Vietnamese Communist histories\, the South Vietnamese are painted as corrupt\, apathetic sidekicks to the Americans. How did the South Vietnamese military really experience the Vietnam War? Historian Julie Pham draws from interviews she conducted with 40 South Vietnamese military veterans in the United States\, and illuminates how people can remember historical events differently. \nJulie Pham (she/her) is the CEO of CuriosityBased\, a consulting practice focused on fostering curiosity in the workplace. Her family owns Northwest Vietnamese News. She published Their War: The Perspectives of the South Vietnamese Military in the Words of Veteran-Emigres in 2019. She earned her PhD in history from the University of Cambridge as a Gates Cambridge Scholar. \nPham lives in Seattle. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series is sponsored by the Humanities Washington\, Clark County Historic Preservation Commission\, and the League of Women Voters of Clark County. 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. \nAbout Humanities Washington\nHumanities Washington is a nonprofit organization dedicated to opening minds and bridging divides by creating spaces to explore different perspectives. For more about Humanities Washington\, visit www.humanities.org. \nAbout the Speakers Bureau Program\nIn communities throughout Washington State\, Speakers Bureau presenters give free public presentations on history\, politics\, music\, philosophy\, spiritual traditions\, and everything in between. \nTheir roster of over 30 Speakers Bureau presenters is made up of professors\, artists\, activists\, historians\, performers\, journalists\, and others—all chosen not only for their expertise\, but also for their ability to inspire discussion with people of all ages and backgrounds.
