Wisdom of the Elders is excited to announce our First Annual Gala and Salmon Dinner on Friday evening June 22, 2012. Guest speaker is Terry Cross (Seneca), founder and Executive Director of the National Indian Child Welfare Association.

We are inviting Portland’s increasingly diverse community to join us for a special evening of Native American wisdom, cultural arts, and a silent auction that includes a trip for four to Cancun, Mexico; a Nez Perce American Girl Doll; 2 hours of Garden Design; a Catered Dinner party for eight. Hurry and purchase your tickets today so you don’t miss this special summer solstice evening event. There are a few gold tickets left that will get you in the door early where you will have exclusive access to select auction items.

For the past year, Wisdom has been engaging in dynamic growth, including capacity building for Discovering Our Story Research Project; Northwest Indian Storytellers Festival, Emerging Storytellers Workshop and Apprenticeship Project; Wisdom of the Elders Radio Program: Series Four featuring sustainability responses of 8 Northwest Tribes in response to unprecedented climate change; Indigenous Women in Science Network; and Wisdom Community Gardens training and harvest celebrations.
