What Is The Farm at Coyote Crossing?
The Farm at Coyote Crossing is a 4.7 acre farmland property in the heart of Chinook Territory, so-called Portland, OR, and is the culmination of years of activism and advocacy work by Indigenous Peoples Power Project, our Board of Directors, Staff, and Network of Indigenous Trainers and Organizers. Purchased in January of 2024 as the first stage of the IP3 Landback Project, we took posession of the property in February of 2024 and are working towards a return to Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous Land Practices to support our mission of providing nonviolent direct action training, campaign support, and community organizing tools to support Indigenous communities taking action in defense of our homelands. In the coming years, The Farm at Coyote Crossing will be our primary headquarters and training space, retreat center for Indigenous and BIPOC communities, and a place to learn, grow, heal, and connect with the land. Please check back often for new information and happengs on the farm!
