I just moved here a couple months ago and was wondering what are fun things to do here? Especially during this time of season, fall.

Recovery from a wildfire doesn’t end when the fire is out. There are longer-term questions around forest health, preparedness, funding, project development, and how communities become more resilient before the next emergency.

With those issues especially relevant across the Spokane area right now, the American Indigenous Tourism Association is hosting a free Community Navigator Workshop Sept. 14-15 at Spokane Tribe Resort & Casino.

The workshop will cover wildfire resilience and forest health, along with land stewardship, community planning, project development, grant readiness, and the role Indigenous tourism can play in supporting community and economic resilience.

It’s free to attend, and the conversations are meant to be practical -- not just about responding to wildfire, but about what communities can do next.
