Local cougars on the Olympic Peninsula are among the most inbred and genetically impoverished in the Pacific Northwest. They are also among the most conflict-prone populations in Washington, resulting in high levels of lethal removal by state wildlife agents following losses of poorly protected livestock in people’s backyards. How then, can we improve the conservation status of local cougars?

Join us for a presentation with artist Molly Troxler, who is Jamestown S’Klallam, Skokomish, and Squaxin Island. Molly is the current ʔaʔkʷustəŋáw̕txʷ House of Learning, Peninsula College Longhouse Guest Artist. During this artist lecture, she will share her inspirations, artistic style, and connections to family. 

All all are welcome to view a collective of her artwork, which will be exhibited in the Longhouse. 

My Heart is Good is an oral history of treaty rights told by Port Gamble S'Klallam elder and former tribal chair Ron Charles in his own words, with historic context and background provided by anthropologist Josh Wisniewski. My Heart is Good follows the history of the Port Gamble S’Klallam people from treaty signing, through the 1974 Boldt Decision and the subsequent 1994 court decision affirming the shellfish harvesting rights (Rafeedie Decision), to the growth of the modern S'Klallam commercial fishing fleet today.

Roundtable discussion with Peninsula College faculty, staff, and administrators on their experiences in the military.

Several decades ago, Alice Derry and Fred Sharpe began a project to write text for drawings of native plants he had inked over many years. They hardly knew each other when they began, and although they both tried to make the partnership work, they eventually realized that both their lifestyles and their goals for the writing were too far apart to continue. More years passed.

This fall, Shakespeare fan Anna Andersen comes to Peninsula College to direct her own adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays: Macbeth, or as theatrical enthusiasts call it: “The Scottish Play.” Legend has it that if you say the word “Macbeth” while standing in a theater, you might just get bad luck.
