About [Edit]
Columbiana is published by a non-profit group, the Columbia River Bioregional Education Project.
Columbiana is devoted to sharing ideas of how to live in place, in the land drained by the Great River of the West, the Columbia River and its tributaries.
A bioregion [bio=life] is a geographic area whose boundaries are set by nature, distinguishable from other areas by characteristics such as plants, animals, watersheds, climate, landforms, soils, and the human settlements and cultures shaped by these characteristics. It is not only a physical region, but also a deep psychological identification with a dwelling place.
Cut off from ancestral roots deep within the natural world upon which the human species evolved, urban technological culture unquestionably needs to chart it’s future course upon the ground of true reality, the Earth itself.
In order for the humans to dwell indefinitely and successfully on Planet Earth, they will have to correct their course; realigning their patterns of living until the relationship between humans and Earth is restored to a mutually respectful, appropriate and therefore, sustainable interaction.
The bioregional concept is a tool which enables us to discover the ecological laws and principles which must form the basis for the design of all long term human systems; economic, technological, agricultural, spiritual and political.
The unqualified reunification of humans with nature; and the moral and political order which will result from this harmony is the imperative and the work of our time.
