LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ë®¹ûÅÉ State University is located in the heart of downtown Ë®¹ûÅÉ, Oregon in Multnomah County. We honor the Indigenous people whose traditional and ancestral homelands we stand on, the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, Watlala bands of the Chinook, the Tualatin Kalapuya and many other indigenous nations of the Columbia River. It is important to acknowledge the ancestors of this place and the sacrifices forced upon them. In remembering these communities, we honor their legacy, their lives, and their descendants.
