“Keeping Our Words”
Confluence Legacy Maker Gathering 2024
All of us leave a legacy. Shoshone-Bannock poet Ed Edmo’s legacy includes decades of stories and poetry from his childhood at Celilo Falls through his teachings today as an Elder. Ed has been the beating heart of Confluence’s educational programming since the very beginning. Each year, hundreds of students hear stories from Ed and follow him on tours through Confluence in the Classroom and Outdoors. He teaches them about Indigenous cultures and the power of keeping our words.
On September 14, 2024, we will gather once again for the Confluence Legacy Maker Gathering, this time to honor the life and legacy of Ed Edmo. Join us as we celebrate all we have accomplished together. This informal event will include traditional First Food appetizers, uplifting testimonials about the important work of Confluence, and words and stories from our dear friend Ed Edmo.
