Where We Call Home: Lands, Seas, and Skies of the Pacific Northwest

Presenter: Josephine Woolington
In this presentation, Josephine Woolington will discuss her book “Where We Call Home: Lands, Seas, and Skies of the Pacific Northwest,” a nonfiction essay collection about Northwest plants and animals, and the relationship that people have had with them over time. Through interviews with local biologists, historians, artists, and Indigenous leaders and scientists from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, the Yakama Nation, Haida Nation, and the Makah Tribe, the essays delve into the past, present and possible future of Northwest landscapes, encouraging curiosity, humility and a more collective understanding of our home. Josephine will also discuss her latest work featured in High Country News that details underground seed banks and their promise for ecological restoration.
Josephine's book may be found or ordered at Powell’s Books, Bookshop, or your local bookstore.
