PESC will have a table and we need people to help share with others about our mission, CCL and other upcoming events. Please let me know if you can help. The inaugural PCEI Sustainability Festival will bring together local businesses, community groups and individuals interested in creating a healthy, innovative and more sustainable Palouse. PCEI has identified water, food, waste, energy, ecology and health as the pillars of sustainability. Bring the family and come learn from local experts on ways to reduce your impact! Community Partners will have hands-on demonstrations and activities for all ages.
In celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day (Monday, October 13), the Washington State University (WSU) Clearinghouse on Native Teaching and Learning will feature the film The Lost Fish, jointly produced by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and Freshwaters Illustrated and selected for the EcoFilm Festival. Also honoring the memory of the late Elmer Crow of the Nez Perce Tribe, the movie explores the importance of the lamprey eel to the Plateau tribes and tribal actions to ensure that these ancient fish return to their native rivers and streams throughout the Columbia River Basin. Share an evening celebrating the contemporary lives of Indigenous people from our region, through this film shown on Monday, October 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in WSU’s Cleveland Hall Room 30W. Please call 509-335-3478 with questions.
