The Clatskanie are the traditional people of this land. Land acknowledgements are a way people insert awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights into everyday life, often at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, or 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. Information about Native lands presented for educational purposes is imperfect and does not represent official or legal boundaries of Indigenous nations; definitive boundaries should be obtained from the nation.
