Land Acknowledgement
The Alsea River takes its name from Indian villagers (Alsi/Alseya) who lived around the extensive estuary on the lower river. The estuary and nearby coves along the coast provided abundant foodstuffs as did seasonal gathering treks to the upper valley (oregonencyclopedia.org). This area was originally home to the Siuslaw, Yaquina, Siletz, and Alsea peoples.
