Place Matters: Indigenous land & water stewardship in a changing climate

A special evening of film and conversation that highlights the ways Native peoples throughout the Pacific Northwest maintain their relationship to place as well as the plant and animal life that is critical for cultural continuity.

Over the course of four short films and accompanying conversation, attendees will hear perspectives on the connections between forest and water, the struggle to bring lamprey back to their ancestral waterways, and the challenges faced by tribal fishers to continue their way of life on the Columbia.

This event is produced in partnership between ProPublica, OPB, Confluence, and Ecotrust.
