We acknowledge that the land we inhabit is unceded, traditional territory belonging to the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and other tribes along the Columbia River. Today, these tribes are represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. We express gratitude to the land and honor the tribes forcibly removed from their home, working to rebuild their connection to the land.
