Originally published on April 19, 2021 6:58 pm Elizabeth Furse, a renowned advocate for Indigenous rights and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Oregon, has died. She was 84. Furse represented Oregon’s first U.S. House district from 1992 to 1999 as a progressive Democrat. She grew up in South Africa, where she joined her mother in advocating for the abolition of apartheid. Before her time in Congress, Furse founded and ran the Oregon Peace Institute, and as a member of Congress, she worked to limit the proliferation and research of nuclear weapons. Furse also became an outspoken advocate for the rights of Indigenous people in the Northwest, starting, as her widower John Platt described it, more than two decades before her first run for Congress.
