Nikoyia Phillips, Port of Portland Director of Community Impact

“After the unexpected loss of our friend and tribal liaison, Kurt Lynam, working with Adam from Black Streak Consulting was a meaningful and restorative next step. His creative approach to learning, humor, and deep relationships within the local Native community helped our Tribal Relations Working Group regain momentum while deepening their understanding of Indigenous history and the present-day impacts of government projects on tribal communities.”

Testimonials

Katie Meeker, Port of Portland PDX Next Communications Manager

“Black Streak Consulting’s immersive and interactive workshops deepened my understanding of – and confidence in showing respect for – the political sovereignty of tribal governments and the environmental expertise and cultural worldview of Native communities. Adam is a warm and insightful facilitator who engages both your head and heart to consider things from a different perspective. The result? You’ll see new possibilities for mutually beneficial outcomes between Native and Non-Native entities and new approaches for achieving them equitably.”
