The Willamette River holds historical, natural, and cultural significance for our region’s Tribes. Since time immemorial, Indigenous people have relied on the river for traditional ceremonies, celebrations and harvests that are essential cultural practices. Today, Tribes and local Indigenous communities are among the most impacted by environmental contamination.
Willamette Cove is a former industrial site in North Portland along the east bank of the Willamette River. The in-water, shoreline, and upland areas of Willamette Cove require environmental cleanup to address human and ecological health risks from historical industrial contamination for the site to become a nature park in the future.
The event is sponsored by the City of Portland, Oregon Department of State Lands, Port of Portland and Metro.

Jifunze kuhusu kazi ya kusafisha Willamette Cove na jitihada za Metro za kupanga mbuga ya asili katika eneo hilo. "Kama ""Mvua ya Willamette"" inaendelea, kuna vituo vya uchunguzi vya kujifunza historia ya Willamette Cove na sayansi ya kusafisha, kukutana na wanasayansi wa mazingira wanaofanya kazi katika Willamette Cove, kuungana na vikundi vya jamii, na kuendeleza historia ya Willamette." Tangu nyakati za kale, watu wa asili wametegemea mto kwa sherehe za jadi, sherehe na mavuno ambayo ni mazoea muhimu ya kitamaduni. Leo, makabila na jamii za wenyeji wa asili ni miongoni mwa wale walioathiriwa zaidi na uchafuzi wa mazingira. Willamette Cove ni tovuti ya zamani ya viwanda katika North Portland kando ya ukingo wa mashariki wa Mto Willamette. Maeneo ya maji, pwani, na maeneo ya juu ya Willamette Cove yanahitaji kusafishwa kwa mazingira ili kushughulikia hatari za afya ya binadamu na ikolojia kutoka kwa uchafuzi wa kihistoria wa viwanda ili tovuti iwe mbuga ya asili katika siku zijazo. Tukio hilo linasaidiwa na Jiji la Portland, Idara ya Oregon ya Ardhi ya Jimbo, Bandari ya Portland na Metro. Maswali?
