Are you getting ready for Historic Preservation Month in May?
May is Historic Preservation month and a time to share a community’s special places and also a time to share with your community the heritage preservation work your organizations do to make sure these places and their history persist.
Here are a few resources to help you start thinking about how to engage with Historic Preservation month in May:

This year’s theme, People Saving Places, will be a national high-five to everyone doing the great work of saving places—in ways big and small—and inspiring others to do the same. Historic place-savers like you pour their time, energy, and resources into protecting places they care about, often without recognition. Consider Preservation Month your opportunity to honor and elevate all the unsung heroes of the movement. We have created a ready-to-use marketing kit and social media visuals to help you spread the word to your community.

Women’s History Month Highlight: Rogue Valley Women's Movement
We invite you to listen to oral histories collected as part of the Rogue Valley Women's Movement, women telling of their lives in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, times of gratitude, of freedom, of hope. You'll hear Beth's demand for justice, Tangren's hidden life, Jackson County's women mayors who forged a way, Tanya who speaks of difference, women who asserted their right to freedom and taught others to do the same and so many more voices. Here are their stories, in the Rogue Valley Women's Movement playlist in the Stories of Southern Oregon collection. https://www.youtube.com/c/StoriesofSouthernOregon<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fc%2FStoriesofSouthernOregon&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7C77d22d774e9b4799d52f08db259a64dc%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638145117273715409%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=LvENbAexPhteXvpBEMLixbjoSeJOn45AyFCRRd0rCXM%3D&reserved=0>

The Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program (TAAP) is one way the University of Oregon’s Oregon Folklife Network<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmnch.uoregon.edu%2Foregon-folklife-network&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7Cdb9b840c4d7f42779d9f08db25a3ddc7%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638145157952933290%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ALeBGJkOpTFkiUwBYtpfmN2RZjNwR%2Fjwo%2Fqj%2BhrbZXI%3D&reserved=0> supports traditional master artists around Oregon.
A state-level honor of great prestige, TAAP awards are often a precursor for traditional artists to be nominated for the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmnch.uoregon.edu%2Flearn%2Fnational-heritage-fellowship-award&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7Cdb9b840c4d7f42779d9f08db25a3ddc7%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638145157952933290%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eOlQb28crblZZsi566P5wm0QpnWQlDvaWHlpurqpLf8%3D&reserved=0> award. Funding for TAAP comes from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. Applications are accepted annually until October for funding in the next calendar year.
The stipend supports master artists and culture keepers in sharing their knowledge, skills and expertise with apprentices of great promise who will be empowered to carry on and strengthen Oregon’s living cultural traditions. The 2023 cohort includes a Hawaiian hula dancer, a Mexican charro, a traditional West African dancer and drummer, a South Indian classical musician, and a Grand Ronde basket weaver.
The artists to receive awards are:
Sreevidhya Chandramouli
Sreevidhya is a tenth generation descendent from the illustrious Karaikudi Vina Tradition of South India. She trained in the traditional gurukulam (living with/near the teacher) setting under her mother Rajeswari Padmanabhan.

Stephanie Craig
Stephanie is a descendent of Santiam and Yoncalla Kalapuya, Takelma Rogue River, Cow Creek Umpqua, and Clackamas Chinook ancestry. She is a seventh-generation traditional basket weaver and ethnobotanist (the traditional harvesting, preparation, and storage of indigenous plants) from a long line of strong traditional women-weavers in her tribe. Stephanie first learned to weave through the oral traditions of her family when she was young, then through early and informal apprenticeships with elders from the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, The Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis, Suquamish Indian Tribe, and the Lummi Nation, and later studied under three of the most accomplished Tribal basket makers in Oregon – the late Sanda “Sam” Henny (Grand Ronde), the late Minerva Soucie (Burns-Paiute), the late Pat Courtney Gold (Wasq’u) – and renowned anthropologist Margaret Mathewson. Stephanie’s apprentice is Dakota Zimmer.
José Antonio Huerta
Jose Antonio Huerta performs traditional charrería, a skill of horsemanship, cattle work, and a sophisticated rope work that dates back to the 1500s. Antonio showcases his work at local community gatherings. His father and grandparents were excellent horsemen and talented in the use of the rope and always strived to pass on those talents to him. Antonio has now been performing charrería for over 19 years. His apprentice is Miguel Ruiz Topete, Jr.
Kumu Hula Andrea Luchese
Andrea is the Kumu Hula (master teacher) for Hālau Hula Ka Pi’o O Ke Ānuenue “the arch of the rainbow,” a Hawaiian cultural dance school she formed in 2007. Andrea has taught hula in her community since 2003. In 2014 she became an ‘uniki (graduated) kumu hula, under Kumu Hula Raylene Haʻaleleʻa Kawaiaeʻa and Kumu Hula Keala Ching, both Native Hawaiians, and the hula traditions of Halau ʻO Haʻaleleʻa and Na Wai ʻIwi Ola, respectively. Her apprentice is Tia ‘Ohi’a Lehua Kumakua ‘Ahihi McLean.
Alseny Yansane
Since age seven, Alseny Yansane has been immersed in the musical and dance tradition of his native country, Guinea, West Africa. Alseny trained and performed in many competitions as a dancer, drummer, and acrobat during the dawn of the Republic’s newly won independence from France. His apprentice is Mamadouba ‘Papa’ Yansane.
