REGION
Wallowa Band Nez Perce Trail Interpretive Center
Request: $29,713
Application Materials
This summer, Wallowa County experienced some of the worst wildfire and smoke conditions we have seen in years, forcing the cancellation of Saqáanma School, a six day program for Native youth. The program was scheduled for July 24–29: two days of land-based learning at the Homeland grounds followed by four days on the river.
Very few Nez Perce descendants live in Wallowa today, and social, economic, and logistical barriers make returning increasingly difficult. Yet in Nez Perce culture, homeland and identity are inseparable, and people carry a responsibility to know and care for this land. Programs like Saqáanma School create rare opportunities for Native youth to come back to wal’áwa, spend meaningful time on the land and water, and learn from Native educators.
Oregon State University Extension & Engagement

Application Materials
We want to supply box fan filters to improve air quality for smoke impacted people. We are working with local red cross organizations, fire districts, county emergency managers. We are the local trusted technical expertise and can provide education on building these fans.
