Confluence Conversation: A Native Lens on Regenerative Ecosystems

Since settler colonialism, seasonal flooding along the Columbia has been a threat, a destabilizing force to be mitigated. Native understanding knows that seasonal flooding brings necessary replenishment and resources for sustainable ecosystem health. Join David Lewis and Eric Quaempts for a discussion about Traditional life along the watersheds and how Native knowledge is addressing concerns for healthier watersheds today and moving forward.

This partnered event is the first of a three-part series offered by the Columbia Slough Watershed Council. The series examines the history of the watershed and its management to help inform current developments of a new watershed district with a stronger commitment to improved wildlife habitat, water quality, and the promotion of equity and social justice.

Support for this program comes from the Oregon Cultural Trust and the Multnomah County Drainage District.
