The Indigenous Natural Resource Office is a brave cultural space within the Oregon State University College of Forestry where Indigenous students and scholars can honor their Indigenous identities and build community. It provides an Indigenized gathering place where together we can develop relationships and allyships across cultures and respectful, caring, innovative partnerships with the nine Tribal Nations of Oregon, Tribal Nations in the PNW and beyond, and Indigenous people globally. In this office we honor Tribal sovereignty rights. We braid together Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western science and research to help develop solutions to humanity’s most pressing natural resource conservation problems.

Our core values in the Indigenous Natural Resource Office are reciprocity and cultural humility. Our goal is to help guide people and the institutions with whom we work beyond the land acknowledgement to find ways to support and empower Indigenous peoples and their communities, while advancing social justice. We partner and collaborate with many Oregon State University offices, Tribal Nations, federal and state agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other academic institutions to support diversity.
