Indigenous Nations of Cascadia

The Indigenous Nations of Cascadia refer to the diverse Native peoples who have lived in the Pacific Northwest region of North America for thousands of years, including areas now part of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. These Nations have rich cultures, languages, and systems of governance, often connected to the land, rivers, and forests. Historically, they engaged in fishing, hunting, and trade. Today, they continue to preserve their traditions, rights, and sovereignty, working toward recognition, legal rights, and cultural revitalization within the broader society.
