Video

• Standing Strong | The Tribal Nations of Western Oregon

As part of the Oregon 150 celebration, this video tracing the history of Oregon tribes residing in the western part of the state was produced by the Western Oregon Tribal OR150 Committee. The video provides both a historical perspective, and current information on five of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon. The western tribes in Oregon are: the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, the Coquille Indian Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, and the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. Students studying Oregon history or teachers preparing classes on Oregon history will find this video very informative.
