May 14-15 Neerchikikoo Powwow, NAYA Family Center, Portland, OR. The Native American Youth and Family Center will hold its first ever Neerchokikoo Powwow on May 14–15, 2010. The purpose of this powwow is to celebrate the purchase of the new NAYA Family Center’s building and grounds from Portland Public Schools, once known as the old Whitaker Middle School. The property is historically intertwined with the Native community and was once called Neerchokikoo, a Chinook fishing village site located on the property. NAYA Family Center sees the property as a place that incorporates the history and honors the significance of reclaiming tribal lands. The site on which NAYA now stands was a thriving village for the Multnomah Chinook people well into the 20th century. It had more than 126 dwellings and a year-round encampment. In June of 2006, NAYA Family Center moved to this site; NAYA staff officially asked the Chinook community for permission to make their new home on Chinook homeland. The process to purchase the property included a major investment from the Northwest Area Foundation to complete renovations and provide for the down payment before the purchase could be final.
