Welcome
Welcome to the First Affilia ted Tribes of Northwest Indians
(ATNI) Changi ng Currents: Tribal Water Summit here on the
beautiful University of Oregon Campus at the Knight Law Center
in Eugene, Oregon.

This is our first intertribal water summit focusing on tribal water resources from the
summit to the sea. We hope that this event is a space for connecting with familiar and
new colleagues, exploring opportunities for partnership to help tribal communities, and
a venue to gather new ideas and information.

That said, thank you to all of the speakers, moderators, panelists for their time and
commitment in making this event a success. Additionally, thank you to our event
partners and sponsors; without their support this event would not be possible.

Sincerely,

Direlle R. Calica, J.D. Joel Moffett
