The Prairie
For the last 8 years I have walked weekly with Juniper at Scatter Creek Prairie on Chehalis land. This is one small part of a sprawling Coast Salish prairie ecosystem. This ecosystem was once maintained by a traditional indigenous practice of controlled burns, but is now highly fragmented as a result of colonization and privatization. I am working on creating some galleries here to share the yearly cycles of this prairie. As I get these galleries up I will try to go back and add some educational information on plant species and the history of indigenous displacement and what land back could look like.
