Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians

image 
 
The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians has a rich history in southwestern Oregon that reflects hard work, perseverance and the desire to be self-reliant. For generations, our people, Nahánkhuotana, have lived between the Cascade and the Coast ranges in the Umpqua and Rogue River watersheds. Our homeland is one of beauty with high mountains, forested uplands and valley floors that provided abundant resources to sustain our tribal way of life.

Today, the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians upholds Tribal Government, protects and preserves Tribal sovereignty, history, culture and the general welfare of the Tribal membership, and serves to provide for the long-term economic needs of the Tribe and its members through the economic development of Tribal lands. The Tribe encourages and promotes a strong work ethic and personal independence for Tribal members, while strongly upholding the “government to government" relationship with local, State and Federal governments. The Tribe constantly strives to maintain and develop strong cooperative relationships that benefit the Tribe and local community.
