Elevating Indigenous voices at Portland
I t was an amazing fall day in
Portland, as delegates from
seven of the region’s tribes met
with City of Portland commis-
sioners for their first-ever sum-
mit.
On
the
same
day,
Confluence was honored to or-
ganize a tribal canoe experience
and story gathering for 135 City
of Portland employees.
Elevating Indigenous Voices:
A Day of Lear ning was de-
signed as an entry point on a
pathway toward a deeper under-
standing.
The day’s workshops culmi-
nated with a luncheon where
delegates, city officials and em-
ployees listened to Indigenous
perspectives on first foods.
Reviews were overwhelmingly
positive:
“Very meaningful.” “Ter-
rific.” “The canoeing was so
powerful!”
One participant said the
event “provided a history and
perspective I was never taught.
Relevant as City of Portland
applies equity to the work we
do.”
Another said, “I really appre-
ciated the openness and vulner-
ability in sharing their cultural
perspectives and practices. The
discussion regarding the sacred-
ness of the food and the river
were incredibly profound. I
don’t think I will ever eat again
without thinking about how
each food has given its life so I
can live.”
