Hi everyone, my name is Brittany.
I recently turned 37 years old, and for my birthday I'm asking people to help support a dream that is much bigger than me.
I am a veteran, a political advocate, and a reconnecting Indigenous woman of Patawomeck descent. While I have worked to advocate for my community, this particular project began in the summer of 2025 when The Ravens Party acquired 10 acres in Christmas Valley, Oregon. Since then, I have been working toward turning that land into something meaningful for future generations.
Through The Ravens Party, a state-registered Oregon nonprofit, we are working to develop the property into an Indigenous campground and community space that serves both Indigenous people and the public.
Located near the sand dunes, Fort Rock, the Lost Forest, Hole-in-the-Ground, and other incredible destinations, the property has the potential to become a place for connection, healing, culture, recreation, and opportunity.
Our vision includes:
Public camping spaces
Camping spaces for Indigenous community members
Safe transitional living spaces for Indigenous people who need a place to land while rebuilding, healing, and moving forward
Indigenous markets and vendor opportunities
Powwow, gathering, and ceremony spaces
Restorative agriculture projects
Community spaces dedicated to culture, education, connection, and wellness
Many people know me through my fry bread. Every fry bread sold has helped support our nonprofit and our 10 acre property. Those sales have helped us make progress, but they are not enough to fully develop the land and bring this vision to life.
Since I just turned 37, I thought it would be fun to tie this fundraiser to my age. If you'd like to participate, consider contributing 3, 7, 37, or 73 in support of this project. Our goal is to raise 30,000 to begin the next phase of development, but every contribution helps move us closer.
Donations can be sent through:
PayPal: [email protected]
Venmo or Chime: 541-515-5131
We're also looking for volunteers interested in helping with our micro fry bread and micro thrift store locations in Gresham, as well as volunteers who would like to help on the land as development begins.
If you're unable to contribute, sharing this post is a huge help and allows more people to learn about our vision.
Thank you for supporting Indigenous led community spaces and helping us create something that can serve people for generations to come. Every share, donation, volunteer hour, and word of encouragement helps move this dream forward.
Brittany
