Support Indigenous Artists, Communities, and Organizations Today and Everyday

PICA acknowledges that we are uninvited guests on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Cowlitz, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Indigenous peoples. We offer our respect to the elders - past, present, and emerging - who have stewarded and continue to steward this land throughout generations. We encourage those of you who are also settlers and guests to join us in learning about, honoring and directing resources to the Indigenous peoples whose land you are on today, and every day. To learn more about land acknowledgments visit usdac.us.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION CAN TAKE MANY FORMS

Recognizing that there is a larger oppressive machine at work which is predicated on disenfranchising Tribes and individual Indian people as well as many others who are a part of marginalized groups, MRG Foundation has established the Since Time Immemorial Fund in an effort to rapidly deploy resources to Tribal communities across the region when opportunity or need arises. This fund was activated in 2020 to respond to COVID-19 in recognition that Tribal communities are one of, if not the, hardest hit by the pandemic in every aspect: financially, environmentally, socially, mentally and physically, and culturally. Donate to the Since Time Immemorial Fund.

R.I.S.E. is an Indigenous founded artist/activist/warrior initiative. R.I.S.E. is dedicated to the education, dissemination, and evolution of Indigenous art & culture. Donate to R.I.S.E. through PayPal. You can also support Indigenous art & small press publications by purchasing items like the RESPECT INDIGENOUS UPRISING MUG (above). "Perfect for accomplices and settlers who wanna support the work of R.I.S.E." –more items available on Etsy.
