Land Acknowledgment
Clackamas Community College shares their campus with Oregon City Farmers Market and the market joins CCC in acknowledging the original inhabitants of this land.
From CCC’s website:
“We acknowledge that the Clackamas Community College campuses reside
on the traditional homelands of the Clackamas, Cascades, and Tumwater
bands of Chinooks, as well as the Tualatin and Pudding River bands of
Kalapuya and the Northern Molalla people. They lived and prospered by
maintaining strong cultural ties to the land, and through wise management of
resources. As signers of the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, they were
removed from their homelands to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation where
they became members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. Please join us in taking this opportunity to thank and honor the original caretakers of this land, their lives, and their descendants that live on as Tribal members today, still carrying on the traditions and cultures of their ancestors.”
