SUMMARY:The Lost Journals of Sacajewea - CLSC Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Among the most memorialized women in American history\, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel\, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life\, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and recentering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history. \nHere\, the young Sacajewea is bright and bold\, growing strong from the hard work of “learning all ways to survive.” When her village is raided\, Sacajewea is kidnapped and then gambled away to Charbonneau\, a French-Canadian trapper. Heavy with grief\, she learns how to survive at the edge of a strange new world. When Lewis and Clark’s expedition party arrives\, Sacajewea knows she must cross a vast and brutal terrain with her newborn son\, the white man who owns her\, and a company of men who wish to conquer and commodify the world she loves. \nLearn more with the event  belowhttps://www.chq.org/event/debra-magpie-earling/Debra Magpie Earling – Chautauqua InstitutionWelcome to Chautauqua Institution!

SUMMARY:Barcelona Harbor: 1800-1860
DESCRIPTION:The harbor we now know as Barcelona played a prominent role in the early settlement and development of Chautauqua County\, beginning with improvements by the Holland Land Company and continuing with federal appropriations aimed at improving navigation on Lake Erie. \nFor nearly 40 years in the 1800s\, Barcelona was one of the busiest communities in the county! Former Chautauqua County Historian Michelle Henry will discuss the investors who built piers and large commercial warehouses at Barcelona\, the Lake Erie storms that regularly threatened the shoreline and sailing vessels\, and the passenger ships that brought both prominent visitors and newly arriving immigrants to our county. \nHenry was appointed the Chautauqua County Historian in March 2000 and also served as the County’s Record Management Coordinator until she retired in January 2023. She is currently Research Historian with the NYS Office of Parks\, Recreation and Historic Preservation. \nPart of Here & There – Chautauqua County History\, Travelers\, & Memories \nAdmission is FREE\, although donations are gratefully accepted

Which is why they matter so much\, and why Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy\, as a Land Trust\, is dedicated to protecting the land\, that helps protect our waters to help keep a healthy watershed for all generations to come. \nBethany was born and raised in Alaska. After working for 15 years in the sustainability field in Portland\, Oregon\, she moved her family to Chautauqua County a little over three years ago.

She also serves on the County Planning Board\, the board of Zonta\, as Vice President of Southern Tier Girls Babe Ruth Softball\, on the Jamestown Farmers Market Advisory Council.
