Unsettling Ecologies: Colonial Forestry vs. Tribal Sovereignty on the Olympic Peninsula

This zine is a reportback from the eight-week Olympic Forest Ecology field course held between Squaxin, Twana, Chimacum, and Klallam lands in late winter-early spring of 2025. We (two nonnative collaborators and guest facilitators) write with two intentions: to pass on knowledge shared during a day focused on clearcut logging, for our wider communities’ further learning as we organize against intensifying colonial extraction; and, to raise awareness around the work of a current Chimacum landback project led by Naoime Dawn Krienke, on whose territory we gathered that cold weekend.
