Land Acknowledgment: Whisper Canyon Ranch in Selma, Oregon, is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma ,Cow Creek Umpqua, Tolowa Dee-ni’, and Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla peoples who lived here since time immemorial.
Through the 1850s, these Tribes were displaced through the violence of colonization by White settlers who came to the region as part of the gold rush. Treaties signed with the tribes in the 1850s ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return, they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. In 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from Western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation.
Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians are living descendants of the people who stewarded and cared for the land on which we will gather for generations. While neither of these tribes accept monetary donations, a gratitude payment will be made to the Native America Rights Fund with part of the proceeds from the Women of the Wild gathering.
