Neerchokikoo

Neerchokikoo is a revitalized Native American village near Portland, Oregon.

Neerchokikoo is culturally significant, is an ancient Native encampment in what is now Northeast Portland, and is a gathering site close to the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.

[2] The Native American Youth and Family Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit,[3] relocated to Neerchokikoo in 2006.

[5] Since before being mentioned in Lewis and Clark's journals,[6] Native people gathered there for community building and trade, but the land was taken from them during colonization.

It raised funds for upgrades that were much needed, for property repairs, and addressed the mortgage debt.
