We would like to invite you to join the Sauvie Island Center, Wisdom of the Elders and Topaz Farm for an invocation on the land that will become our new (relocated) First Foods Forest. With the gathering we will acknowledge the transition to the new space, honor all that the food forest (in the previous location) provided, and to celebrate new beginnings.

Don Montanic, from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation who currently serves as Board Chair for Wisdom of the Elders, will host the invocation. We will also be joined by Teresa Montana and Roberta Eaglehorse from Wisdom of the Elders as well as Kat and Jim Topaz and the staff of the Sauvie Island Center.

WHEN: Tuesday, 3/22 at 10 - 11 am
WHERE: Topaz Farm, 17100 NW Sauvie Island Rd., PDX 97231 - park in the lot next to the market.
