Land Acknowledgment:

As a school community, we acknowledge that we occupy stolen land. “The Portland Metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River creating communities and summer encampments to harvest and use the plentiful natural resources of the area” (Portland Indian Leaders Roundtable, 2018). The First Peoples of this region have called this area home since time immemorial and continue to live, work, and lead here.
