Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, Oregon, is located within the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya people. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living Kalapuya descendants are a part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians (ctsi.nsn.us) and continue to make important contributions to their communities, Oregon, and the world.
