On the side of Mt Hood, roughly two hours east of Portland, is the Warm Springs Reservation which is home to the Paiute, Wasco and Warm Springs Native American Tribes. The land of snow capped summits, deep canyons and high desert holds a nation and a culture thousands of years in the making.

Did you know that a 2018 report claims that 40% of Americans believe that Native Peoples no longer exist? On this trip, we will be sitting down with and learning from the people who call Warm Springs home. Specifically, we will be working with the High Lookee Lodge, which is an assisted living facility on the reservation. This will give us an incredible opportunity to listen to stories from the elders of the tribe and hear their experiences.

We are so excited for this opportunity to have a truly unique experience in an place that most people are not even aware exists. We are honored that the people of Warm Springs are so willing to welcome us into their lives and their home. Will you help us make this trip a reality?

Donations will help cover costs for all aspects of the trip including:

Food for meals
Ground transportation
Flights from Boston to Oregon
Gas
A once in a lifetime experience
