History Cafe

Join local Tribal forestry professionals, who will trace millennia of stewardship by Indigenous peoples to manage forests based on holistic worldviews of connectedness of communities with their environments. With colonization, this ethos was displaced with forest policy centered on timber production, resulting in disruption of environmental processes. Today, Indigenous peoples are asserting greater influence over management of their ancestral forest lands through their exercise of self-determination and application of traditional knowledge and western science.

History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink and MOHAI.

Join Brad Holden, author of Seattle Mystic Alfred M. Hubbard for a discussion of one of Seattle’s most mysterious figures. Hubbard first appeared in the papers in 1919 for his supposed invention of a perpetual motion machine that harnessed energy from Earth’s atmosphere. From there, he transformed himself into a bootlegger, radio pioneer, top-secret spy, and eventually “the Johnny Appleseed of LSD”.
