President Biden drops out and rethinking community landscaping
Join Native America Calling to get a picture of what’s ahead for Native voters as Democrats muster support for a new presidential candidate following the departure of Joe Biden from the 2024 race.

Also: The spaces around community buildings, public spaces and campuses reflect the people, culture, and land. At Southern Oregon University, a team of Native landscape architects and planners is including native plants, medicines, and foods for a large section of campus.

It’s one model for incorporating Native input to connect culture and the larger community.
