We humbly acknowledge that we live and work on sacred, living land, in Multnomah Village in SW Portland. This land is the ancestral and unceded territory of the original peoples of the Wasco, Clackamas, Kathlamet, Cowlitz, Molalla, Tumwater, the Multnomah, and Watlala bands of the Chinook peoples, and the Tualatin Band of Kalapuya, who are now a part of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, as well as many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia (Wimahl) and Willamette (Whilamut) Rivers. They lived and thrived in a complex and interdependent relationship with the land and other beings long before colonial settlement. We recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
