The Environmental Center is on the traditional land of the Northern Paiute, the Wasco, and the Warm Springs tribes, known as The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation of Oregon. These tribes also had interactions with other surrounding tribes – including but not limited to the Klamath, Modoc, Yahuskin, Santiam, and the Molalla.
We recognize and respect Indigenous Peoples as the original stewards of this land where we live, work, recreate, and learn. Our facility, garden, and programs exist on stolen land. We are guests with our tribal neighbors making homes and legacies in these spaces together.
