Earth to Humans

Ted Howard is the chairman of the Shoshone-Paiute tribe. These tribes once freely occupied the land in the tri-state area of what is now Idaho, Nevada and Oregon, and Ted Howard, who was the cultural resources director for the tribal government before becoming the chairman, is steeped in this history.

This interview was recorded as a part of an oral history series on the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey NCA. This series, called Dedication Point, was produced by the Birds of Prey NCA Partnership, with support from the Bureau of Land Management and the Archives of Falconry. While many of the interviews recorded for this series are focused on the very recent history of the Snake River canyon region, this interview with Ted Howard takes us back to the earliest interactions that humanity had with this landscape, and also provides crucial insight into issues over land ownership in Southwest Idaho and throughout the West.

Locals and tourists marvel at the yearly northward migration of the Gray Whales, which occurs every spring. But 2019 has been a year that has confused both locals and scientists. Not only did more gray whales than usual enter the highly trafficked San Francisco Bay in search of food, but 13 gray whales were found dead, washed up on our beaches or found floating in the water. Scientists and researchers are concerned about this unusual mortality event, and continue to search for not just for answers for the spike in deaths, but for solutions to protect and preserve our marine life. Though the science is currently inconclusive, climate change and melting arctic sea ice are thought to be responsible for causing inconsistencies in these mammals' primary food source.

Larry Larocco spent his political career working on public lands issues in the Western US.  He began his career working for Senator Frank Church and played a key role in the establishment of the River of No Return Wilderness in central Idaho.  As a congressman he introduced the legislation that created the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey NCA, an area just south of Boise, ID that is home to the highest nesting densities of birds of prey anywhere in North America.  Few political leaders have had such an outsized influence on the current makeup of our public lands system, and it was an honor to speak with Congressman Larocco about his unique political career.  This interview was recorded for an oral history project focused on the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey NCA.  This oral history series was produced by the Birds of Prey NCA Partnership, a friends group for this NCA, working in close collaboration with the BLM, the Peregrine Fund’s Archives of Falconry, and the Wild Lens Collective.
