Some positive news (Chetco Fire)
The Chetco fire is nearly 100% contained! That gorgeous river (and the Oregon Redwood forests that grow along it) is pristine and undammed, which makes it a vital salmon run. I’m so glad they finally prioritized that fire. The region is relatively undisturbed by humans and it has so many acres of prime habitat for various life, and I’m shocked they actually focused on it at all (shocked and happy!!). It’s great to read about the Chetco forest being saved, especially since our state has handled the gorge fire/restoration plans so poorly -_-
An excerpt from Wikipedia, which is accurate in this case (multiple sources at the bottom of the page): “ Supporting a large population of salmon and trout, the Chetco's water is of very high quality. The watershed is home to many other species, including several that are endemic to the Siskiyou Mountains area. The northernmost grove of Redwoods—the tallest trees on Earth—grow in the southern region of the Chetco's drainage basin. In total, the river is home to over 200 species of animals, and 97 percent of the watershed is forested.”

Persistence of Genocide Upon the Chetco People
Persistence of Genocide Upon the Chetco People
The Chetco Indians, perhaps more than nearly any other tribe on the Oregon coast, were repeatedly attacked by racist white settlers before their removal. In a previous set of essays I presented the story of the Tolowa and Chetco massacres by a group of paid vigilante militia, perhaps members of the famous Red Caps who committed similar atrocities to the Yurok, and other tribes on the Klamath…

We spent a long weekend in southern Oregon. On our last night, I considered resting and not photographing the sunset. I’m glad I forced myself out because it was amazing. ⠀ ⠀ I love a good sunset. ⠀ ⠀ Nikon Z6ii⠀ Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4⠀ 0.8 sec at f/11 • ISO 50 • 30mm⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #Brookings #BrookingsOregon #Chetco #ChetcoCove #OregonCoast #OregonBeach #sunset #sunsets #coast #beachlife #pnwlife #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #nature #NikonNoFilter #teamnikon #reflection #nikonphotography #Oregon #Nikon #NikonZ6ii #oregonisbeautiful #oregonexplored (at Brookings, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR60PPblRzW/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Gate on the Central Oregon Coast, Fort Umpqua and the Umpqua Sub Indian Agency
The southern and central Coast of Oregon is a relatively unknown area in Native American history in Oregon. As the area is not well researched it is generally assumed to have been vacated during the Indian removals of 1856. However, federal records show us that this is not the case at all. That there were tribes and bands living on the central coast, even below the southern border of the Coast…
