Building Healthy Families recognizes and honors the stewardship, care, and presence of the Indigenous people of this land.

We respectfully acknowledge that:

• In Wallowa County, we are on the ancestral lands of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce), Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
• In Baker County, we are on the ancestral lands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples.
• In Union County, we are on the ancestral lands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples.
• In Malheur County, we are on the ancestral lands of the Nuumu (Northern Paiute), Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples.

We honor their ongoing connection to these lands, waters, and traditions. We are committed to fostering relationships rooted in respect, equity, and collaboration as we work to build healthy families in these communities.

We also recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples in these regions today and extend our gratitude for the opportunity to serve on these lands.
