Indigenous at Oregon State
Native & Indigenous Heritage Month celebrates and honors the histories, cultures and traditions of the Indigenous people of the Americas and Pacific Islands. Oregon State University recognizes the impact that its land grant history had on Indigenous communities in Oregon and accepts its responsibility for understanding the continuing impact of that history on these communities.
November is Native and Indigenous Heritage Month
As we observe Native and Indigenous Heritage Month, we acknowledge that Oregon State University is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary’s River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. As a land-grant institution, OSU has a special obligation and commitment to serve and be of enduring benefit to Tribal nations and Indigenous communities in Oregon and throughout the country.
We reflect on the resilience and rich diversity of sovereign Tribal Nations and celebrate the profound impact their members and communities continue to have on our society.
