Honoring Native Peoples and Lands

In order to address the needs of each individual community, 90by30 has divided Lane County into seven unique regions. 

Each of these regions rest on the traditional, indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. With great gratitude, we ask that you take a moment to learn more about the Native ethnic group that inhabited this land. The major tribes of the Kalaypuya people are the Tualatin, Yamhill, Ahantchuyuk, Santiam, Luckamiute, Tekopa, Chenapinefu, Chemapho, Chelamela, Chafin, Peyu (Mohawk), and Winefelly tribes. By 1849 the Kalapuya population was reduced to only 600 individuals as a result of illness and Euro-American settlement. Read more about the Kalapuya people.
