Siuslaw National Forest Rangers & Staff
This month, View the Future Chairperson Joanne Kittel presented an educational session to the new rangers and staff of the Siuslaw National Forest about local First Nation History and the contributions of trails. Through collaboration with the local tribes, Joanne has become recognized as a local expert on this topic and her presentations reveal the truths of that history.
Sam Case Elementary School 4th graders from Newport Oregon
Fourth graders from Sam Case elementary school came to the Amanda Grotto where Joanne Kittel told them about local First Nation history and the story of Amanda. Being present in the grotto while hearing the story will certainly leave a memorable impression that hopefully will shape these young people in a positive way as they move forward in their lives.
