The lands on which Ophelia's Place carries out its mission are the traditional homelands of Kalapuya, Chelamela, and Tsankupi peoples many of whom are now citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. They have lived harmoniously with these lands and water for countless generations before the onslaught of colonization. Like Indigenous Peoples across the Americas, they have experienced genocide, ethnic cleansing, theft of their land and waters, and forced removal. Our ability to live, work and enjoy this area is connected to their deep loss. Ophelia’s Place resolves to invite the Kalapuyan, Chelamelan and Tsankupi peoples to share how OP can support their youth, to welcome them to join OP’s staff, board, and community, and to continue listening and learning how we can build a shared, sustainable future for all. We ask all, including our governing bodies, to respect and to learn the true history of the lands on which we reside.
