HONORING NATIVE PEOPLES AND LANDS

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional

Indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties

between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of

their Indigenous homeland by the United States government and

forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon.

Today, Kalapuya descendants are primarily citizens of the

Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of

Siletz Indians, and they continue to make important contributions

to their communities, to the UO, to Oregon, and to the world.

In following the Indigenous protocol of acknowledging the original

people of the land we occupy, we also extend our respect to the

nine federally recognized Indigenous nations of Oregon: the Burns

Paiute Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua

and Siuslaw Indians, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde,

the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes

of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated Tribes of

Warm Springs, the Coquille Indian Tribe, the Cow Creek Band of

Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and the Klamath Tribes. We express our

respect to the many more tribes who have ancestral connections

to this territory, as well as to all other displaced Indigenous

peoples who call Oregon home.
