2025 Updates

Jack continues to lead walks for various organizations around the Spokane area. Since many of these excursions have a short lead time, the best way to find out about them is to get on our mailing list by sending an email request on the Contact Page. 

Jack has also completed a pair of visual essays for HistoryLink.org that explore tribal use of fire on the landscape around the period of contact—one for east of the Cascades, one for the west side.
