This zine was created on the traditional homelands of the Mary’s River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya as part of Dr. Luhui Whitebear’s spring 2023 WGSS/QS/ES 499/599 Indigenous Feminisms class at Oregon State University.

As a collective of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous scholars, we recognize the necessity to contend with the reality that we continue to benefit from the displacement of Kalapuya while attending Oregon State University.
Following the Willamette Valley treaty of 1855 the Kalapuya were forcibly removed to reservations in western Oregon. Living descendants of these people are now part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians (https://ctsi.nsn.us).
Recognizing lands and Indigenous peoples are minor steps in the right direction. Centering your politics around #LANDBACK efforts, supporting Indigenous peoples’ earnest protests as land and water protectors/defenders, and donating your time, money, and efforts to Indigenous-led causes are actions you can take to support Indigenous peoples and their futures.
