Abstract

The group uses maps from the Whitman College Archives to talk about settler-colonialism and destruction of ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest because of the dams created by the Inland Empire Waterways. The group moves in the past and present of dam sitatations, the historical impacts on tribes in the regions, and the present day restoration efforts. The group also gives information on ways to contribute to the present day environmental justice movement in and around Washington and Oregon on salmon and land conservation efforts.
