Bordered by the Columbia River to the north, the Klamath River to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Snake River to the east, the lands in what is now known as the State of Oregon have a long and storied history as home to many different groups of Indigenous people. While there are now nine federally recognized tribes in the state, we know that there have been many more Indigenous communities who have hunted, fished, farmed, and otherwise tended this land since time immemorial. Rogue Farm Corps operates programs across the state, and we offer our respect, gratitude, and acknowledgment of the original Indigenous stewards of these lands. While we are grateful to be able to live, farm, garden, learn, and teach in these beautiful places, we know that our presence here is the result of a tangled history of colonization, land theft, and oppression. Because of this history we carry a great responsibility to the people who were here originally, to their living descendants, and to future generations. Indigenous people are here and still connected to this land. We offer land acknowledgements on this website and at our events not to take the place of meaningful relationships but rather to express our intention to partner and collaborate with Indigenous tribes, people, and projects towards a better future for us all.
