PHCC and supporters are excited to launch The Blue River: A Call to Heal the Willamette.

Short Film Premier-Sunday, August 6

4:00-5:00 pm (doors open at 3:30)

The film will be followed by a special panel led by those in the film

The film was funded in 2021 by Metro, and produced by Tule Films. PHCC and supporters worked closely with the late, beloved Cayuse/Nimiipuu tribal elder Art McConville, member of the Confederated Tribes of Umatilla Indian Reservation and other trusted community members to shine a light on Native/Indigenous approaches to healing the river. The Willamette River is an important inter-tribal harvesting and cultural historical area that has been compromised in large part due to industrial pollution over the last century.
