Willamette Falls Trust

The winter solstice marks the moment when half of Earth is tilted the farthest away from the sun. This year it falls on December 21st, at the exact same second around the world. It is a good reminder of how inter-connected we all are. willamettefallstrust.org/blog/2024/12/2…

Kate Brown is now president of @WFTrust. Robert Kentta, the Trust's Siletz delegate & treasurer for the tribal council of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, said Brown was picked for her knowledge of #IndianCountry. ✍@BartooNika & @karinapdx ow.ly/MxvV50S8VYt
