"This was an extraordinary moment in her life, but it was only one moment." Nelson emphasizes the need to view historical figures like Sacagawea in a broader context, recognizing their multifaceted lives beyond singular events.
The Blue Trail is set in a recognizable, vaguely dystopian future, where the government ships elderly people off to a distant location known only as The Colony when they reach the age of 80. This is justified by the need to preserve jobs and resources for the younger population, but it doesn't sit well with 77-year-old Tereza, especially when she learns that the cutoff has been lowered to 75.
The pioneering partial accounts of the first half of the 19th century were by explorers or travelers such as Lewis and Clark, Ross Cox, and Daniel Lee and Joseph Frost.
The issue is really relevant now because the issue is being argued again in terms of things like states being able to pass rules to suppress votes that have been used before. For example, if a physical address is required to vote, many Indian lands have only recently gotten streets with addresses.
That number represents roughly 7% of the state's land and waters. It also corresponds with the amount of land the federal government promised it would hold as reservations for Indigenous tribes after California joined the union in 1850. Congress ultimately rejected these treaties in a secret meeting - after pressure from the state - and failed to notify tribes, many of whom upheld their end of the agreement to relocate.
The dedication ceremony will begin with the first speaker at 1:30 p.m. and end with a 2:33 p.m. flyover by the West Coast Ravens that perform at air shows.
In 2025, Dmae Lo Roberts embarked on a statewide storytelling experience focusing on personal stories from both artists and community members. These stories are a form of living oral history.
I'm a relationship therapist because I really struggled in relationships. I didn't understand that vulnerability was a prerequisite for bonding. It was such a relieving awakening to realize that's where I would be loved the most: putting [my] worst foot forward. I think the kids call it full goblin mode. That really is it.
"Hey, a rainbow!" I, the lone passenger on a Mount Adams Transportation Service (MATS) bus that just crossed the Columbia into Hood River, exclaim. "Oh, yeah, I get to see those all the time," the driver responds. "Last week I saw two double rainbows." My inner 5-year-old is envious. A few hours later I see my second rainbow of the day-it's not a double arch, but the tally is still pretty cool.
OREGON CITY - It'll be a long and arduous journey emblematic of the original 1840s Oregon Trail migration itself. But, in the end, some years from now, restoration of the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive and Visitor Center in Oregon City should produce a beacon of history, education, and pride for the state and citizens of all backgrounds. An updated venue will include a new addition housing original wagons, a beautiful plank house, amphitheater events, and expanded programming.
Not only do we have an amazing trail with 10 waterfalls (four of which you can walk behind), but it's a great place to see and learn about plants and wildlife. We also have several historic buildings that are open to the public-all built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s and 1940s.
Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill Cody - the gang of American frontiersmen is all here in The Undiscovered Country: Triumph, Tragedy, and the Shaping of the American West. The valuable new volume is by historian Paul Andrew Hutton, an award-winning author, documentary writer, and a Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus at the University of New Mexico. Hutton's 565-page history, a New York Times bestseller published last year by Dutton, covers the American frontier from the mid-18th century to 1900.
When Norman Sylvester was 12, long before he garnered the nickname "The Boogie Cat" or shared a stage with B.B. King, he boarded a train in Louisiana and headed west, toward the distant city of Portland, Oregon. He'd lived all his life in the rural South, eating wild muscadine grapes from his family's farm, fishing in the bayou and churning butter at the kitchen table to the tune of his grandmother's gospel singing.
The day after Whitelaw testified, the state economist said that Oregon now has about $300 million more to spend than previously expected. The new revenue forecast does not mean the budget is in the black, however. There are new demands for the available dollars, including $600 million in upgrades to the Moda Center to retain the Portland Trail Blazers, a recently announced $50 million shortfall in Portland Public School funding,
With most of us, 90 minutes of reminiscing wouldn't make for scintillating theater. Gert Boyle, as played by Wendy Westerwelle, is the exception to that rule. The late Gert came to fame when she took the reins of Columbia Sportswear after her husband's death in 1970 and also became the "One Tough Mother," with gray hair and glasses, of its comedic '80s and '90s ad campaigns. In one, she put her son, Tim, through a carwash to test the durability of a coat.
The initial offense could have maintained a shield of plausible deniability- dismissed as an unfortunate use of a common phrase between people when having a misunderstanding. Instead the Duolingo-style apology, in which Nolan noted that they "disrespected [his] heritage," read as cringeworthy; becoming a case study in a common affliction that befalls my hometown-called "Portland Nice™."
