All education happens on Indigenous land. Oregon State University is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. We acknowledge the land on which we each live, serve, and educate.
In order to begin healing, we encourage our partners to build knowledge of the people and history of the land we call home.
“The Importance of Land: Land is something sacred to all of us, whether we consciously appreciate it or not — it is the space upon which we play, live, eat, find love, and experience life. The land is ever-changing and ever-shifting, giving us — and other creatures and beings on the earth — an infinite number of gifts and lessons.”
