- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 30 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Coming together for Indigenous futurities

Join Confluence for the public launch of Voices of the River, Volume 4—an evening celebrating Native writers, artists, scholars, and the collective work of imagining Indigenous futures.

Now in its fourth volume, Voices of the River features poetry, creative nonfiction, research, and artwork by Native contributors from Northwest Tribes. This year’s theme, “Coming together for Indigenous futurities,” centers how futures are shaped through the resurgence of Indigenous knowledge, values, and practices—grounded in the past and made visible in the present.

Volume 4 is led by 2025 Lead Editor Rachel L. Cushman (Chinook Indian Nation) and includes work by Christine Dupres, Michelle M. Jacob, Sage Hatch, Carina Miller, Keri Iyall, Mike Iyall, and Marta Lu Clifford, with a cover by Toma Villa. Together, these pieces explore survivance, ancestral presence, Native joy, and collective responsibility through poems, research, and storytelling.

The launch event will feature readings and reflections from contributors and offer space to gather in community along the Columbia River.
