I acknowledge my presence on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, and Molalla tribes, now called the State of Oregon. I honor, appreciate, and celebrate those who have stewarded this land for millennia and recognize that Portland today is made up of many diverse Indigenous communities.
