Tribal acknowledgement: We acknowledge that PBEM volunteers train, operate, and assemble on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other indigenous nations of the Columbia River. We honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of the indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land for thousands of years. We recognize that their connection to this land continues to this day, and we express our gratitude for their ongoing presence and contributions.
