[OYAN] Writing Opportunity for Teens - Capturing History: Students Write About COVID

[Keli Yeats]

Hi Ian. I was wondering if you could share a little more information about
this. I was thinking that it would be a cool thing to see if I could get
added to our collection as well.

I'm also going to present it to my teen council to see if they want to
write one individually or as a collaborative story.

*Land Acknowledgement Multnomah County rests on the stolen lands of the
Multnomah, Kathlamet, and Clackamas Bands of Chinook Indian Nation;
Tualatin Kalapuya; Molalla; and many others along the Columbia River. This
country is built on stolen Indigenous land and built by stolen African
people. This land was not stolen and people were not enslaved by ambiguous
entities and actors. The land was stolen by, and African peoples were
enslaved by white settlers who had government support. We also want to
honor the members of over 400 tribal communities who live in Multnomah
County. Many of these People and their cultures still survive and resist
despite the intentional and ongoing attempts to destroy them.* *Take a
moment to acknowledge the history of how we are here in this place and to
honor the People. [Credit to Dr. Aileen Duldulao and Heather Heater]*
