Kalapuya country is in what we call Lane county, Oregon. We are seeking restoration of tribal names and places. We support tribal restoration and education for locals in Kalapuya country. We also support the renaming of the county to reflect our first people who reside in our county. The Kalapuya people are one member of the Grande Ronde Tribe.
