Internships provide cohorts with classroom education and experiential service-learning activities so they can integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge principles and practices with partners' conservation practices. At the same time we work to restore, enhance and protect sensitive Native habitat in Mid-Willamette watersheds using Native American climate adaptation and mitigation practices. This initiative has expanded to include microenterprise development which has helped EWF strengthen its commitment to social, economic and environmental justice for diverse communities of color and ethnicity in our region. Multiple collaborative partnerships with diverse environmental and tribal NPOs, agencies and institutions have helped EWF and partners to achieve diversity, equity and inclusion as well as its vision of race reconciliation at a higher level. 37987 0 0 EWF and consultant filmmakers trained a group of four Native American youth from Oregon tribes to learn filmmaking and produce a documentary featuring the cultural traditions of their tribal community. At the same time, our staff successfully strengthened capacity to mentor gifted young Native students in filmmaking while helping them learn traditional tribal stories, songs and other oral traditions. The four student films were screened at U of O; the Klamath Independent Film Festival; the Tulalip Tribe's Film Festival; and Capital Community TV channel. 6674 0 6000 The biography of Martin Rufus High Bear, the late Lakota spiritual leader and medicine man, is being published and will be released in 2024. The title is: Martin High Bear: The Seven Commandments of the Sacred Buffalo Calf Maiden (1919-1995). Editor Rose High Bear worked off and on for three decades to complete this obligation after the Spirit World advised her in 1988 that she would be writing the book of Martin's life and that it would "have an impact on the peoples of the world." This biography features High Bear's family lineage, tribal history, and rich cultural values of Martin's ancestors. Several chapters feature the three spiritual lives Martin lived during his lifetime. It continues with the introduction of the Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman and Martin's vision of the seven commandments of the Sacred Buffalo Calf Woman. The closing chapters detail his journey to see Miracle, the white buffalo calf that was born in Janesville, Wisconsin which represents fulfillment of prophecy, and events leading up to his passing in 1995. 0 0 0 324468 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 OR X Rose High Bear 9718032348 2281 Delaney Rd SE Salem OR 97306 Duane Medicine Crow Board Chairman 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Janice Cockrell Board Co-Chair/Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Wohpe Twofeathers Corresponding Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Barb Kimimela Newcomb Recording Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Max Defender Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Roxanna Jensen Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 190183 251114 1700 441297 Chemeketa Community College 611600 40000 40000 0 0 Oregon Tilth 611600 10454 10454 0 0 Friends of Trees 611600 4000 4000 0 0 Friends of Family Farmers 611600 1000 1000 0 0 Portland Bureau of Sustainability 111400 780 780 0 0 0 0 0 0 56234 969 0 0 969 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 498500 56234 0 969 X 59000 41300 11800 5900 101399 98399 3000 0 4306 3986 229 91 15597 13584 1439 574 5054 5054 41917 41917 112754 110354 2400 0 2369 2090 279 0 3757 1429 2269 59 12525 10018 2507 0 0 25394 0 25394 0 14773 13328 1445 0 5453 0 5453 0 Supplies 8064 8034 30 0 Repairs and Rentals 4111 3747 364 0 Miscellaneous 1218 1167 51 0 17384 17032 306 46 435075 324468 103937 6670 117173 91315 0 35969 0 56859 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 0 0 0 0 0 117173 185143 739 5084 0 0 200 0 0 0 0 0 739 5284 X 0 0 0 0 116434 179859 116434 179859 117173 185143 63425 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 12612 12100 7488 259086 441297 732583 100 0 78002 206675 56234 341011 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12712 12100 85490 465761 497531 1073594 0 0 0 500 6000 6500 0 0 0 459717 50454 510171 0 0 0 460217 56454 516671 556923 0 0 370 0 969 1339 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 370 0 969 1339 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12712 12100 85860 465761 498500 1074933 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Rose High Bear Employee/Founder 24000 Annual property rental of farm and office 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 and its supporting schedules are reviewed at a board meeting or via email prior to its submission.
