Inviting The Conversation rents space and makes professional offerings on land that was taken unjustly—by manipulation and force—from the Atfalati/Tualatin people, a tribe of the Kalapuya Indians, and from various tribes now gathered under the names Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians. ITC supports the Oregon Land Justice movement and seeks to operate from our collective responsibility to care for our Earth Mother and to support the sovereignty and access of the First Nations.
