SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Centennial Edition of The Toledo Incident of 1925 with Author Ted Cox
DESCRIPTION:Join author Ted Cox on April 18 for a presentation of his newly revised centennial edition of The Toledo Incident of 1925: Three Days That Made History in Toledo\, Oregon. Book signing to follow\, and books will be available for purchase at the event. This event is free and open to the public but registration is requested. \nIn July 1925\, the Pacific Spruce Company brought Japanese laborers to Toledo to work the green chain\, a particularly dangerous step in the lumber mill process. Only two days after their arrival\, town residents formed a mob and violently expelled them. The Toledo Incident is the definitive book detailing this incident\, what led to it\, and the lawsuit brought — and won — by the Japanese workers. \nThe centennial edition documents a federal district court jury verdict in 1926 that affirmed that lawful resident aliens\, including immigrants ineligible for U.S. citizenship\, possessed enforceable protections and that those rights could be upheld through monetary judgments. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nService animals welcome

SUMMARY:Oregon Folklife Residency: Traditional Basketry and Weaving Demonstrations with Sara Barton (Hines)
DESCRIPTION:The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (NHOTIC)\, with support from the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation\, will host an “Oregon Folklife Residency\,” a seven-month partnership with the Oregon Folklife Network. \nCrossroads Carnegie Art Center\, the friends organization for NHOTIC\, partnered with the Oregon Folklife Network to develop a plan to bring Oregon Cultural Keepers to Eastern Oregon to share their traditions in 2026 as part of the America 250 Oregon celebrations. \nThe first folk residency will take place April 23 to April 25\, 2026\, featuring Sara Barton (Hines) who is a traditional basketmaker. Her ancestry is a mix of Mono Lake Paiute and Yosemite Miwuk\, and she assists Burns Paiute in preserving their basket and cradleboard traditions. \nSchedule:  \nApril 24: Demonstration of willow basket weaving \nApril 25: Demonstration of Tule or Cattail weaving \nApril 26: Demonstration of “Rabbit Nets\,” a newer weaving technique \nAbout Sara Barton (Hines) \nRaised in the Mono Lake area of California\, east of Yosemite National Park\, Sara Barton comes from a long line of basketmakers. Her tribal ancestry is a mix of Mono Lake Paiute and Yosemite Miwuk. When Sara moved to Burns\, she came to know Minerva Soucie\, a master basketmaker on the Burns Paiute reservation whose work was known throughout Oregon. As their friendship grew\, Minerva began to share stories of her people\, especially when they were gathering willow and cattails (tullies) together. Minerva’s hope was that her people would continue to make cradleboards. Perhaps she sensed Sara was the person to ensure that would happen. \nWhen Sara took Minerva’s cradleboard-making class\, she was transformed. Cradleboards soon became a passion for her. Sara has now become a teacher to the Burns Paiute people\, helping them renew their basket and cradleboard-making traditions. Sara also occupies her time with other types of handwork. Her regalia\, worn for dancing and public speaking\, was nine years in the making. Sara worked on different facets over time\, including the dress itself\, the belt\, fan\, etc. Her buckskin dress is embellished with Olivella\, bull pine\, and abalone shell accent pieces. Sara cut and polished the abalone herself. The necklace\, beaded in a lace pattern by her cousin\, took 100 hours to complete. \nEvent Accessibility: \n\nWheelchair-accessible venue\nAccessible parking\nService animals welcome
