Why are some Indigenous voters uncomfortable with the idea of voting, and with being U.S. citizens? A wide variety of downballot issues confront Westerners this year. Ten years after the notorious standoff at Bunkerville, Nevada, Cliven Bundy’s false notion of “white oppression” has become part of the political mainstream. Butte, Montana’s water supply, like that of many mountain communities, is threatened by wildfires. Nationwide, 2 million acres of state-owned “trust lands” lie inside reservation boundaries, leaving tribal members unable to access their own lands.

Portland, Oregon’s industrial hub is at serious risk from earthquakes. Venezuelan immigrants turn to social media to combat vicious stereotypes. HCN interviews Indigenous leaders about the Interior Department’s overdue acknowledgement of the damage caused by the Columbia River’s dams. How can California’s cities protect themselves from climate change-caused flooding? Scientists are studying how wildlife adapted when a landslide closed the road through Alaska’s Denali National Park.

In Washington, the Yakama people are determined to restore ancestral lands polluted by nuclear weapons production at the Hanford Site. How do birds cope with wildfire smoke? Low-income, marginalized and unhoused urban residents are uniquely vulnerable to extreme heat. Eagle Mountain, Utah, tries to reconcile rapid development with wildlife migration, and the West says goodbye to a legendary mule deer. Is there enough water in the arid West to satisfy the microchip industry’s thirst? New Mexico takes a surprising lead in early childhood education. The remarkable Native leader who fought colonization and gave his name to the Little Shell Chippewa people is remembered. How do we find the right words to discuss climate change?

In Idaho, the Nez Perce turn to solar power to replace hydroelectric dams and help salmon recover. The Yakama Nation supports renewable energy, but not if it’s going to destroy the tribe’s sacred sites. Who should pay when utilities are responsible for wildfire damage? Pollution is easy to create but hard to get rid of: Thousands of abandoned mines are contaminating Western rivers, and Canadian mine waste is flowing downriver into Montana and Idaho. Louis Carlos Bernal, the father of Chicano art photography, lives on through his work. California artists celebrate the beauty of the Pacific’s endangered kelp forests, while the short film Mirasol: Looking at the Sun examines how water scarcity is affecting a small Colorado farming community.

Our two feature stories highlight the resilience of both human relationships and damaged ecosystems, with a photo essay about the lessons learned from older lesbian couples, and a wide-ranging survey of “natural regeneration,” the way that native seeds can survive underground, sometimes for centuries, waiting for the right conditions to sprout and flourish. We rediscover the Japanese-language poetry written in the U.S. between the world wars and meet gay men who found new community in the desert. But challenges remain: The toxic levels of PFAS in drinking water are often hidden from consumers, our car culture is killing us and our communities, and first responders are scrambling to keep up as immigration patterns shift and the death toll rises.

Jane Wong’s new memoir reveals how compulsive gambling tragically derailed an Asian American family — her own.</p> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-187985" class="post-187985 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry category-issues category-55-5 tag-the-magazine entry"> <figure class="post-thumbnail"> <a class="post-thumbnail-inner" href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/55-5/" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"> <img width="600" height="725" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/55-05-May-2023-cover.jpg?resize=600%2C725&quality=100&ssl=1" class="attachment-newspack-archive-image-large size-newspack-archive-image-large wp-post-image" alt="Magazine cover: May 1, 2023: Reemergence" loading="lazy" data-hero-candidate="" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/55-05-May-2023-cover.jpg?w=600&quality=100&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/55-05-May-2023-cover.jpg?resize=248%2C300&quality=100&ssl=1 248w, https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/55-05-May-2023-cover.jpg?resize=400%2C483&quality=100&ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/55-05-May-2023-cover.jpg?resize=600%2C725&quality=100&ssl=1&w=370 370w" sizes="(max-width: 34.9rem) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 53rem) calc(8 * (100vw / 12)), (min-width: 53rem) calc(6 * (100vw / 12)), 100vw" /> </a> </figure> <div class="entry-container"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/55-5/" rel="bookmark">May 1, 2023: Reemergence</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>In this issue, our feature highlights a Makah artist who preserves the stories of his ancestors and their reciprocal relationship to whales. We also follow two female botanists as they raft down the Grand Canyon in an attempt to make the first recorded, botanical survey of the region. Elsewhere, a FEMA contractor’s incompetence in translating Alaska Native languages shows systemic problems. In a Colorado coal town, the discovery of a 74 million-year-old fossil brings a new kind of tourism. A team of epidemiologists in Washington prepares for climate change. In Wyoming, off-rez hunting is under scrutiny. Is the Behren’s silverspot butterfly valuable enough to save? Climate change refugia can shelter wildlife if the planet doesn’t warm too much. And finally, we check in with Debra Magpie Earling on her new novel, learn about the importance of good ice for hunting in coastal Alaska and think on the meaning of ‘new animism.’</p> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-187978" class="post-187978 page type-page status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry category-55-4 category-issues tag-the-magazine entry"> <figure class="post-thumbnail"> <a class="post-thumbnail-inner" href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/55-4/" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"> <img width="400" height="483" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/55-04-April-web-2023-cover.jpg?resize=400%2C483&quality=100&ssl=1" class="attachment-newspack-archive-image-large size-newspack-archive-image-large wp-post-image" alt="Magazine cover: April 1, 2023: The Path Forward" loading="lazy" data-hero-candidate="" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/55-04-April-web-2023-cover.jpg?w=400&quality=100&ssl=1 400w, https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/55-04-April-web-2023-cover.jpg?resize=248%2C300&quality=100&ssl=1 248w, https://i0.wp.com/www.hcn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/55-04-April-web-2023-cover.jpg?resize=400%2C483&quality=100&ssl=1&w=370 370w" sizes="(max-width: 34.9rem) calc(100vw - 2rem), (max-width: 53rem) calc(8 * (100vw / 12)), (min-width: 53rem) calc(6 * (100vw / 12)), 100vw" /> </a> </figure> <div class="entry-container"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.hcn.org/issues/55-4/" rel="bookmark">April 1, 2023: The Path Forward</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Challenging times call for innovation, and the West is as full of ideas as it is of problems. Chronic wasting disease is killing deer and elk throughout the Rocky Mountains, and with no cure in sight, some researchers think predators might help combat its spread. In Butte, Montana, ecologists work with engineers to keep migratory birds from landing on — and dying in — the Berkeley Pit. It makes economic and environmental sense to give up fossil fuels, but the natural gas industry is fighting electrification. Now that Roe v. Wade’s gone, startups are helping rural women get reproductive care. Women hunters shoot down stereotypes while feeding themselves and their families, and dogsled races keep traditions alive in Alaska. An Indigenous protest 20 years ago helped inspire Nevada’s newest national monument, Ave Kwa Ame. Real-life Jackson, Wyoming, is not quite the refuge it seems in ‘The Last of Us.’ Grigri or gris-gris? Outdoor recreation companies borrow words but not worldviews from Black and Indigenous communities. </p> </div> </div> </article> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts pagination"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts pagination</h2> <div class="nav-links"><span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current">1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.hcn.org/topic/the-magazine/page/2/">2</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.hcn.org/topic/the-magazine/page/3/">3</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.hcn.org/topic/the-magazine/page/63/">63</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://www.hcn.org/topic/the-magazine/page/2/"><span class="nav-next-text">Older posts</span> <svg class="svg-icon" width="22" height="22" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M10 6L8.59 7.41 13.17 12l-4.58 4.59L10 18l6-6z"></path><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"></path></svg></a></div> </nav> </main> <aside id="secondary" class="widget-area"> <div class='newspack_global_ad sidebar_sidebar-1 sidebar_sidebar-1-before hook-before stick-to-top fixed-height'> </div> <section id="jetpack-search-filters-4" class="widget jetpack-filters widget_search"> <div id="jetpack-search-filters-4-wrapper" class="jetpack-instant-search-wrapper"> <div class="jetpack-search-form"> <form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="https://www.hcn.org/"> <label for="search-form-3"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span> </label> <input type="search" id="search-form-3" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" /> <button type="submit" class="search-submit"> <svg class="svg-icon" width="28" height="28" aria-hidden="true" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M15.5 14h-.79l-.28-.27C15.41 12.59 16 11.11 16 9.5 16 5.91 13.09 3 9.5 3S3 5.91 3 9.5 5.91 16 9.5 16c1.61 0 3.09-.59 4.23-1.57l.27.28v.79l5 4.99L20.49 19l-4.99-5zm-6 0C7.01 14 5 11.99 5 9.5S7.01 5 9.5 5 14 7.01 14 9.5 11.99 14 9.5 14z" /><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none" /></svg> <span class="screen-reader-text"> Search </span> </button> <input type="hidden" name="orderby" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="order" value="" /></form> </div></div></section><section id="bs_zones-2" class="widget bs_zones"><div><broadstreet-zone place="" zone-id="148159" keywords="not_home_page,not_landing_page,not_article_page" soft-keywords="true" zone-alias=""></broadstreet-zone></div></section><section id="block-35" class="widget widget_block"><aside> <div class="newspack-popup-container newspack-popup hidden newspack-inline-popup " role="button" tabindex="0" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000" id="id_324185" data-segments="12178" data-frequency="0,0,0,month" > <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Support nonprofit news</h2> <p class="has-normal-font-size"><em>High Country News</em> relies on donations as well as subscription fees to produce independent reporting on the West.
