Virtual Restoration Celebration

Today we came together as a Tribe, a community, and as a family to celebrate 38 years since our Restoration under the Grand Ronde Restoration Act. Today we honor our ancestors who sacrificed tremendously, those leaders who fought for us to be here, and those who will take us into the future.

 

Restoration Gifts Update:

We've had an overwhelming response for restoration gifts this year and they will take some time to process. We are currently working through the submissions, so please be patient with us.

Unfortunately, the deadline for submission was December 3, 2021 and the form is no longer active on this site.
