Homelands of the
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Washington
The homelands of bands and tribes that comprise the
Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde spanned over 14
million acres, from southwest Washington, throughout
western Oregon, to northern California.
During the early 1850s, tribes signed treaties ceding
(handing title to) their lands to the federal government in
exchange for certain rights and benefits. This resulted in
over 2,000 Indians being removed from their homelands in
January-March 1856 and marched to the (original) Grand
Ronde Indian Reservation (shown in red). Those from Table
Rock in southern Oregon marched more than 200 miles over
the course of 33 days that winter.
Oregon
More than 27 bands and tribes were combined into what is
now the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. The seven
treaties that were ratified are the Rogue River Treaty of 1853
and Rogue River Treaty of 1854 (shown in orange), Cow
Creek Treaty of 1853 (shown in blue), Umpqua and Kalapuya
Treaty of 1854 (shown in yellow), Willamette Valley Treaty of
1855 (shown in green), Chasta Costa Treaty of 1854 (shown
in purple), and Molalla Treaty of 1855 (shown in brown).
In addition to the lands ceded by ratified treaties (outlined in
black), the usual and accustomed areas (cross-hatched in
white) and aboriginal homelands (cross-hatched in orange)
are important to the Tribe.

Currently under construction at Chachalu is a kiosk
dedicated to the Tribal homelands of the Confederated
Tribes of Grand Ronde. Once completed the kiosk will have
the above information and more. We hope to see you soon at
Chachalu.
