Chinese miners and laborers helped establish and settle the Idaho Territory during the 1860s and 1870s.  Several hundred Chinese miners worked placer gold claims in the Snake River Canyon between 1870 and 1883.  The Chinese were an integral and dynamic component of southern Idaho’s frontier settlements.  Yet, by the early 1900s, the Chinese and their contributions to the region’s history had all but vanished from the memory and were almost forgotten.  Agnotology is the study of culturally-induced ignorance, providing insight into how and why the contributions of the Chinese were ignored and misrepresented.

Ron James will speak.

A pilgrimage is simply a journey. Historically, a pilgrimage is a journey to a sacred or religious place. One of the oldest pilgrimages is a 500 mile trek from eastern to
western Spain, the Camino de Santiago. (“Camino” is a path or road).

However, a pilgrimage does not need to be religious in nature. It can be a long journey, a search, or an adventure that is personally meaningful. A pilgrimage may also refer to the journey of human life.

These journeys do not require traveling to another country. Some journeys are internal in nature or occur in our everyday lives. Individuals on pilgrimages often have common experiences such as learning life lessons.

The speaker is Collete Hoglund.
