Impacts to First Foods and Traditional Use Areas Fact Sheet - Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation

The five Tribal members of the Portland Harbor Natural Resource Trustee Council (Five Tribes) have developed fact sheets to help interested members of the public more fully understand and appreciate each of the Five Tribe’s relationships with natural resources in and around the Portland Harbor Superfund Site and how these relationships have changed as a result of contamination in the lower Willamette River. Traditionally, tribal peoples spent substantial amounts of time in and around Portland Harbor and the lower Willamette River, forming unique bonds with the river’s natural resources.
