Great Basin Symposium

Human Experience in the Oregon Great Basin: Past and Present Ways of Knowing

OHS is hosting the “Human Experience in the Oregon Great Basin: Past and Present Ways of Knowing” symposium in Bend, on November 5th and 6th. This symposium brings to the public presentations by tribal knowledge-holders, anthropologists, and archaeologists who have researched and learned about the land, plants, animals, people, and climate of the Great Basin in Oregon.

Discussions by Wilson Wewa (Warm Springs) and Diane Teeman (Burns Paiute) will frame each day, which will be filled with presentations about the recent archaeological research and analyses, partnership projects, and online databases that are helping build knowledge about the historical and ongoing human experiences in the Great Basin.

Of special note is that OHS will offer $500 stipends to a limited number of teachers who register for and attend the entire symposium! Educators who attend both days will be given their stipend at the end of the conference.
