Natural History Book Group

The Natural History Book Group was founded on the recognition that Indigenous peoples have maintained a deep and reciprocal relationship with the land now known as Lake Oswego for millennia, the group acknowledges this history as an essential grounding for its work. Through participant-selected readings that focus on Traditional Ecological Knowledge, members explore how literature and nonfiction can deepen our understanding of the watershed and its indigenous history, while inspiring practical steps toward a more just relationship with both the land we call home and its original caretakers.

In March, we will be discussing the book Tribal Histories of the Willamette Valley by David G. Lewis.

Led by the Oswego Lake Watershed Council, this group meets bi-monthly on the second Tuesday of every other month (January, March, May, July, September, and November) at the Lake Oswego Public Library in the second-floor conference room. New members are welcome.
