One of the most exciting dance companies in the world today, Indigenous Enterprise is taking the world by storm. Comprised of champion dancers from several different western Tribes (including the Colville!), IE creates a multimedia performance unlike any other that celebrates the past and looks to the future of Native American culture and identity.
You may have seen them at Sydney Opera House, Jacob’s Pillow, The Joyce, or – in a boundary-breaking performance – at the opening ceremonies of Superbowl LVII in Phoenix! And we could not be more excited to welcome them to the Snowy Owl Theater to wrap up our Visiting Artist series with three amazing performances.
Indigenous Enterprise was founded in 2015 with the intent of celebrating the dancers heritage, educating audiences about Native American culture, and dispelling stereotypes about Native people. Audience goers should expect to see selections of competitive and traditional powwow dances accompanied by artful contextualization about each dance’s significance and origins. Described by Jacobs Pillow as, “explosively jubilant” each performer is a champion in their respective style of dance.

Something to Crow About: Explore Deep Connections of Corvids & Humans
2023-05-10 19:00 - 20:30 UTC
This event is hosted by the North Cascades Institute
This is a virtual event
Class Tuition: $10
To register for this class click here.
Corvids are everywhere: they are found on nearly every continent and many species thrive in human dominated environments. They have influenced art and literature throughout history, and whether they inspire love or hate, they have certainly impacted the hearts and minds of the humans who share their space. But being “common” isn’t enough to earn this level of connection. So what is it about corvids that positions them to take such a prominent role in culture and storytelling traditions? And how does that relationship impact the birds themselves?
Join Dr. Kaeli Swift as she explores the unique features of corvids that make them so appealing to watch and study, how they have influenced our cultures across time and space, and how human attention towards these birds has shaped their own ecology and culture.
If you can’t make this specific date or time, you can still register and we will send you a link to view the class on your own time! All registrants will have access to the class recording for a limited time after the program.

Leavenworth Firefighter Challenge
2023-04-29 10:00 - 16:00 UTC
This event is hosted by the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club
Every year thousands of Firefighters protect communities from wildland fires. We are dedicated individuals working together to defend life and property from fire’s potential devastation. Variable, rugged terrain and dangerous conditions require knowledge, strength and cooperation.
The Leavenworth Firefighter Challenge serves as an opportunity for Firefighters to connect with our Brothers and Sisters from around the region. The race is an opportunity to rep our crews and departments; to demonstrate that we are ready for the coming season; and to share stories over beers and around the fire.
Cutting through the scenic foothills of the Cascades, the course climbs a grueling 1,665 vertical feet over 6.2 miles (10k) of rugged terrain. The Leavenworth Firefighter Challenge will test the physical and mental endurance of the toughest competitors.
Competitors wear full Wildland PPE throughout the race and are divided into three divisions:

The Probie Division: Full PPE, except your choice of footwear.
The Arduous Division: Full PPE including NFPA 1977 compliant wildland boots and 25lbs of weight
The Sawyer Division: Full PPE including a saw. A chance for the truly tough to show their grit by shouldering a chainsaw throughout the entire course.

The race is followed by a party at Ski Hill with a beer garden, food booths, and live music.
The Leavenworth Firefighter Challenge is hosted by Chelan County Fire District #3 Firefighters. We are a combination department serving Leavenworth and the Upper Wenatchee Valley through response to both structure and wildland fire, EMS, and technical outdoor rescue.
In addition to supporting the efforts of local volunteers, the Challenge benefits firefighters everywhere as we have partnered with the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. For over 25 years, the Wildland Firefighter Foundation has assisted the families of firefighters who have paid the ultimate price in the line of duty and supported those with physical and emotional injuries on the long road to recovery.
We hope you join us a weekend of fun, sweat, beer, food, and music with the men and women of the fire service.

Wolves in Washington
2023-04-26 17:30 - 19:00 UTC
This event is hosted by the North Cascades Institute
Wolves are a keystone predator that plays a valuable and important role in the health of our ecosystems. After nearly being eradicated in the early 1900s, the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a native Washington species, has naturally returned to our state. A wolf pack with pups was confirmed in July 2008 in western Okanogan and northern Chelan counties and represented the first fully documented breeding by wolves in the state since the 1930s! Since then, the state’s wolf population has increased at an average rate of around 25% every year – 16% in 2021 – and many other wolf packs have been confirmed.
In the latest annual census of wolves in Washington State, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) reports the following good news for wolf recovery:

Washington has a minimum of 206 wolves in the state at the end of 2021, compared to 178 in 2020, and 19 breeding pairs in 2021, compared to 16 in 2020.
Four new wolf packs were formed, including a new one in the North Cascades south of Lake Chelan (Shady Pass).
There are four breeding pairs in the North Cascades recovery region for two years in a row, which is an important step toward meeting recovery goals.
Evidence from a collared wolf of consistent residency in the South Cascades may indicate or lead to an established pack this year.

Join us for a Zoom presentation with biologists from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Wolf Advisory Group. They will share an overview of the status of wolves in the state, provide updates on current wolf packs and take questions too.
Participants will learn how they can stay updated, get involved, and how the Washington Wolf Advisory Group is working to promote equitable, inclusive, and respectful dialogue and decision-making among diverse people to foster durable peace by transforming the root causes of social conflict and providing high quality recommendations on wolf recovery, conservation, and management.
