Land Acknowledgement
Parallax Art Center is conscientiously aware that our building sits on the ancestral lands of The Cowlitz, The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians, The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and The Clackamas Tribes. We recognize the importance of this land and its spirit to the people who were here first.
Through our art exhibitions and programing, we are committed to creating a space for dialogues about colonialism, the historical and contemporary mistreatment of Native Americans, and the ongoing injustices that colonialism and racial inequality have created not just in the Pacific Northwest, but across the United States and the world.
We are committed to celebrating all of the people that came before us. We are a new organization and are re-examining the best way to approach our land acknowledgement statement to ensure that it is authentic, respectful and demonstrates our goals towards better equity.
