Join NAYA Native Made on September 27, from 5pm - 8pm at munk-yeʔlan sax̣ali @ 4636 NE 42nd Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97218 for a special exhibit from artist Arusha Dittmer.

Arusha is an Indigenous mixed media artist residing in the coastal pacific region. She is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a proud mother of four. She draws her inspiration from the radiance of the temperate rainforest that surrounds her and the Ho-Chunk woodland traditions of her people. She works with, but is not limited to, acrylics, sharpies, watercolors, and ink pens, as well as textile and digital media.

There will be light refreshments and the opportunity to speak with the artist and buy original art and prints.

On September 29th, NAYA Native Made will be hosting an Orange Shirt Day event at the munk-yeʔlan sax̣ali office @ 4636 NE 42nd Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97218 from 11am - 7pm. 

This event is being held to honour those who survived residential schools, boarding schools, day schools and forced adoption / assimilation efforts by the church and government, as well as the children who never made it home to their families and communities.

There will be drop-in community art activities for Native people to honour their family members, and we will be offering light refreshments alongside a pop up from our friends Javelina.

We are also doing an open call for sharing honour songs at 6pm to help close out the day. 
Please fill out this form if you are interested in sharing a song.

Orange Shirt Day shirts will be available for sale from 11am – 7pm.
