Returning to My Roots for Restoration
About to land at the Portland International Airport, I could see the top of Mt. Hood peeking out from a pillow of billowy fog. My sister is a big fan of Mt. Hood and her annual birthday ritual is to travel there to celebrate her special day.
I traveled to Oregon recently to celebrate my sister and nephew’s birthdays. But my primary reason for going was to reconnect with this place, this land where I am rooted, and to re-energize, revitalize, and restore my spirit.
I’ve called Virginia home for more than 30 years, but my home state is Oregon. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Since moving to Virginia in 1988, I’ve made several trips to the West Coast to visit favorite haunts such as Multnomah Falls in the Columbia Gorge, the Portland Rose Gardens, Chinese Garden, and later, to Willamette National Cemetery, where my parents are buried.

KLCC s Brian Bull reports on the Jingle Dress Project, a group of Native American dancers and a photographer who ve traveled the U.S. promoting healing and unity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and racial/political strife.
In a parking lot teeming with tourists in Cannon Beach, Oregon, sisters Erin and Dion Tapahe and their friend, Sunni Begay, helped each other put on long dresses adorned with beadwork, fur, and hundreds of metal cones called “jingles”.
The process didn’t always go smoothly.
“Hahahah!” cried Begay, as Tapahe adjusted the sleeves to her dress, poking her under the arms, “Oh, you’re tickling me!”

SALEM, Ore. If you’re a black oystercatcher sitting on a nest of eggs, there is good reason to be concerned if a large, buzzing object flies directly at you.
Even if the object is just a drone, the small blackish birds with reddish-orange bills often scatter in fear, worried that the unmanned aircraft is actually a predator such as a bald eagle or falcon.
The scenario has become increasingly common over the past two years at the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, the islands just off the coast that are critical for nesting shorebirds but also make for scenic drone videos.
