Eena Festival

Multnomah Arts Center

*The Fifth Annual Beaver Festival*
Saturday, October 5, at 3pm
Multnomah Arts Center, in the auditorium (7688 SW Capitol Hwy)

Created and organized by Native community member Laura Campos, the Eena
(Beaver) Festival is an Indigenous-led festival that hopes to raise
awareness about non-human-led restoration, share education about
Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and create a safe, welcoming means to
increase access to nature for Black, Indigenous, People of
Color.

This year, join for a screening of Once a Braided River, a documentary by Barbara Bernstein that tells the "story of how the North Reach of the Willamette River was transformed from a braided river, rich in biodiversity and home to many bands of indigenous people, into an industrial sacrifice zone with a ten mile long superfund site running from downtown Portland to the river?s confluence with the Columbia
River".

The screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion with Bob Sallinger, Sarah Taylor, John Wasiutynski and Jay Wilson, who are featured in the film, and moderated by Barbara Bernstein.

This is a free event. All are welcome!
We hope to see you there!
