All Our Relations Snake River Campaign

Stand with Indigenous leaders at the Portland stop of the All Our Relations Snake River Campaign, 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 25 at the Billy Frank Jr. Conference Room at EcoTrust building, on the second floor at 721 N.W. Ninth Ave., Portland. The All Our Relations Snake River Campaign is a two-week, Indigenous-led campaign that aims to bring attention to the urgent need to remove the four lower Snake River dams as part of a comprehensive solution. Restoring a free-flowing Snake River would honor the promises made to Tribal Nations and their lifeways, open up cold water habitat, fight the effects of climate change, and allow the river to fulfill its role in caring for the salmon, orca and the other wildlife who rely on a healthy river. Events will feature an 8-foot in diameter steel sculpture, hand crafted for the journey by Lummi Nation members A. Cyaltsa Finkbonner and Master Carver Jewell James that represents a vision of “All Our Relations.”
