Welcome to the Up from the UnderStory project blog! Make yourself at home. Click on posts. Share your comments.
What is an understory? The understory is the part of the forest that grows under the tree canopy. It's a shady area made up of a mixture of plants which usually need more light to leaf out and grow.
And that's what our project is about. Shining a light on how a diverse group of rural residents in the forested Sierra foothills of California are creating new paths toward community revitalization.
This blog is about community, collaboration, and change. It's a space to bring together a network of people who are interested in the community renewal efforts of the Blue Mountain towns of West Point, Wilseyville, Glencoe, and Railroad Flat in
A group of Blue Mountain area youth are using cameras and computers to share their perspectives and showcase local change efforts. We invite you to view their work, give feedback, and share your own stories of community change.

Chris, I have a great time in the round house during Big Time. If I don't go I don't feel right for the rest of the year so I always try to be a part of Big Time.

Chris and Alan, it is great to see these photos of the round house. When is Big Time and how long does it last? How many people are usually there?

I was with (Autie) Joyce Rummerfield yesterday when she looked at Chris's post. It was sweet to see how proud and happy the post made her of her nephew and the work various tribal members are involved in on the Round House.
She mentioned that she wanted to send a special thanks to Arvada Fischer, Charlie Wilson, and Fred Valesquez for getting her involved in Up from the UnderStory. And she reminded me of her current work: Archivist, Calaveras County Mountain Miwok.
