Umpqua Community College acknowledges and honors the Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, on whose traditional lands the college is now located. We recognize and pay tribute to these homelands, to the legacy that these tribes have endured in this region, and to the tribal members who still reside in and contribute to the local community. We encourage all to consider our collective responsibility to and solidarity with Native, Indigenous, and First Nations people, and their sovereignty, cultural heritage, and lives.
