Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR is located within the traditional homelands of the Mary's River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 (Kalapuya etc. Treaty), Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are a part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians (https://ctsi.nsn.us).

Special thanks to the festival sponsors: the College of Liberal Arts, Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx), and the School of Visual, Performing and Design Arts, and to all the volunteer makers and change agents supporting this festival.
