This land is the traditional territory of the Cow Creek Umpqua. Land acknowledgements are a way people insert an awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights into everyday life, often at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, and education guides. They offer an explicit yet limited recognition of the history of colonialism and First Nations, as well as a need for change in settler-colonial societies. The map is for educational purposes, is imperfect, and does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations; for definitive boundaries, the nation should be contacted.
