PSU LAND
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We recognize that what we now call Portland and
Multnomah County are the traditional lands of
the Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, Watlala and
Multnomah bands of the Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya,
Molalla and many other Indigenous Nations of the
Columbia and Willamette rivers. Today peoples from
these bands have become part of the Confederated Tribes
of Grand Ronde, the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz, as
well as the Chinook and Cowlitz Nations. It is important
to acknowledge the ancestors of this place and to
recognize that we are here because of the sacrifices forced
upon them. In remembering these communities, we honor
their legacy, their lives, and their descendants.
