Important meeting for the continuation of Huckleberries, our little sister. This is intended for the Community (tribal members).

Dear Tribal Membership and Traditional Gatherers of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, We are convening an upcoming Huckleberry Habitat Management Workshop focused on traditional gathering grounds utilized by the Warm Springs community. As a valued partner in planning this event, we want to formally extend our invitation and express our appreciation for your participation.

WHEN: Wednesday, September 23 | 10:00 a.m. - 2:15 p.m.

WHERE: The Hehe Longhouse This workshop will bring together tribal community members, resource specialists, researchers, and land managers to discuss huckleberry habitat management across landscapes that are culturally and ecologically important to the Warm Springs people.

The workshop is intended as a space for sharing knowledge, experiences, concerns, priorities, and opportunities related to huckleberry stewardship and management. The day will include presentations and dialogue on current management tools and practices, including lessons learned, successes, challenges, and outstanding questions. A facilitated discussion in the afternoon will focus on gathering and documenting community perspectives regarding huckleberry habitat management and the future of traditional gathering areas.

Your participation is especially important in helping ensure that tribal values, cultural knowledge, community priorities, and lived experiences are reflected in these conversations. While agency staff and leadership have been invited to attend portions of the workshop primarily as listeners, this gathering is intended to center the voices and perspectives of the Warm Springs community.

Following the workshop, a summary document will be developed to capture the perspectives shared, identify areas of agreement and concern, and highlight opportunities for future collaboration. We hope this document will support the Warm Springs Branch of Natural Resources as it develops a huckleberry management plan for reservation forests. We also hope it will serve as a resource for federal land management agencies responsible for traditional gathering grounds, helping inform future projects, adaptive management efforts, and the development or revision of agreements affecting these important landscapes.

Thank you for your partnership, guidance, and contributions to this effort. We look forward to continuing this work together and to the conversations that will take place during the workshop. Sincerely, Lawrence Squiemphen III - Cultural Resource Manager/THPO
