with a positive experience," said
conference co-Director Kari
Grabowski
The conference got off to a
rocky start Friday afternoon when
members of Earth First1 organized
and led a protest against the
Northwest Timber Summit,
which was broadcast live from
the Knight Library’s Instruction
al Media Center.
Problems arose after members
of Earth First! and Native Amer
ican conference participants dis
covered that the Northwest
Timber Summit did not include
a Native American panelist.
Calvin Hecocta. a Paiute Indi
an and founder of the Willamette
Valley Sacred Sites Preservation
Committee, said he learned about
the Northwest Timber Summit
panel only two hours before it
was to begin.
Hecocta said he asked confer
ence co-Director David Evans if
a Native American could be
added to the panel, but that Evans
refused.
"I felt a senso of betrayal."
Hecocta said.
Other Native American con
ference participants were also
upset that none of their col
leagues were included in the dis
cussion.
Evans said space limitations
and technical constraints pre
vented him from adding a pan
elist to the live broadcast at the
last minute.
But Karth First* meinliers and
the Native Americans wouldn’t
take "No" for an answer
About 2:30 p m . just as the
broadcast began, about 80 pro
testers converged on the 1MC
entrance located on the west side
of the Knight Library, adjacent to
Kincaid Street. But Eugene police
and campus security officers had
already sealed the building.
Sgt. Dennis Baker, the EPD
campus liaison, said his office
received a tip about 2:20 p m that
protesters might attempt to storm
the 1MC and disrupt the broad
cast.
Prevented from entering the
IMC studio, protesters pounded
on the side of the building and
banged on construction scaffold
ing outside the IMC entrance,
continuously chanting "Let
Calvin (Hecocta) speak ”
Inside, panelists discussed the
Northwest's timber crisis, but
broke no now ground in the ongo
ing stalemate.
But the protest eventually jiaid
off. During the broadcast's inter
mission, Hecocta and Bressette
were admitted into the studio.
Once they were inside. True sur
rendered his panel seat to Hecoc
ta.
Eugene police reported no
arrests or injuries during the
protest.
