SUMMARY:4 Week Online Course:  Unwelcomed - Oregon’s History of Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:A 4-Week Series \nAshland Together\, in collaboration with other community partners\, is proud to present “Unwelcomed: Understanding Oregon’s History Exclusion.” This 4-week online course is led by Portland State University Professor Kristin Teigen. \nProfessor Teigen will take us through the deliberate steps taken to construct Oregon\, first as a territory and later as a state\, to exclude non-white people. \nWoven into each week\, we will discuss Southern Oregon’s specific history with regard to race. \nWeek 1: Exclusions\, Genocide\, Segregation\, and Deportation\nBeginning with the construct of race\, we then embark on a journey through Oregon’s complex and often troubling history. Who was in Oregon before it became a state? What led to its founding? Dive deep into the origins of hate groups like the KKK and investigate discriminatory policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. Understand how Oregon’s history is marred by acts of deportation\, exclusion\, and even genocide. \nWeek 2:  Displacement and the Arrival of Immigrants\nMoving from the origin of Oregon\, we will travel into the early 20th century to examine the creation of segregation and systems of displacement\, the arrival of immigrant groups\, and we will set the stage for the transformation of World War II. \nWeek 3: World War II and Its Aftermath\nThe third week takes us to a critical period: World War II and its enduring impact on Oregon. Explore the devastating effects of Japanese internment camps\, Latinx deportations\, the creation of Vanport and more\,  and the practice of redlining\, all of which continue to shape Oregon’s communities today. \nWeek 4: The “Golden Age” and Modern Day\nThe 1950’s\, the supposed Golden Age of the U.S. brought dramatic transformations\, particularly with Indigenous communities\, displacements within Black communities\, the aftermath of internment and continued deportations. Moving into modern-day Oregon\, we will look at how the past has created the realities of our day-to-day lives and the continuing struggle for justice.   \nCourse Details:\n\nWhen: Every Thursday beginning February 1st\nTime: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm PT\nPlatform: Zoom (link will be provided on the day of each class)\nCost: $90\nCapacity: Limited to 35 participants\n\nThis course emphasizes active participation\, open dialogue\, and is designed to be a safe space for all attendees. \nPlease write to ashlandtogether@gmail.com for information regarding full or partial scholarships. \nUnwelcomed: Understanding Oregon’s History Exclusion. is sponsored by our partners: Peace House\, BASE–Black Alliance and Social Empowerment\, and Rogue Valley Unitatian Universalist Fellowship. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to BASE \nInstructor: Kristin Teigen\, MA\, M.Ed. is an educator at Portland State University\, where she teaches the history of BIPOC communities in Oregon and issues of women’s homelessness.

After starting in Grants Pass\, the Oregon Remembrance Project is now working with community members in Ashland to bring this vision of belonging for all to our community. Learn more about the project and how you can join us in rewriting the ending to the story of a sundown town. \nFREE EVENT\n(Register Below) \nFeatured Speakers: Taylor Stewart (Oregon Remembrance Project)\, Gabi Johnsen (Grants Pass Remembrance)\, & Anna Sloan (Southern Oregon Historical Society). \nMonday\, February 12\, 6:00 – 7:30 PM\nOSF Carpenter Hall\, 44 S Pioneer St\, Ashland \nAbout Oregon Remembrance

SUMMARY:Storytelling and Potluck Lunch with David West
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 17 @ 3:00pm in the Great Hall RVUUF will host a potluck and storytelling afternoon with David West\, (Enrolled: Citizen Potawatomi Nation) and Director Emeritus of SOU’s Native American Studies Program. \nAfter inviting everyone to share in a water and food blessing\, David will share stories with a focus on water and seven generations planning. \nThis is a wonderful opportunity to experience traditional oral storytelling from one who was raised and trained in this tradition.  As David says\, \n“Come and listen because in that storytelling there may be one word\, one sentence\, one story that was meant just for you.  And it might answer a question of need that you hadn’t even asked.  That’s the wisdom of this storytelling time.”  \nBring your favorite potluck dish (hot or cold) to share.  Also\, please bring your own table setting\, mug and silverware. \nRVUUF will provide paper napkins\, coffee\, tea\, and water.
