The second Monday in October is Indigenous Peoples' Day, honoring the people, tribes, and tribal nations of Turtle Island (North America) who are the original caretakers of this land.

Parker Learning Gardens is on Indigenous land, specifically the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya people, a diverse language group of 13+ tribes throughout the Willamette Valley who have been here since time immemorial. Parker Learning Gardens and the area surrounding us are at an intersection of territory for the Chafan, Tsankupi, and Chelamela Kalapuyans. Artifacts of these tribes are still found on the farm, most notably arrowheads. Due to our location in the flood plains and the presence of arrowheads, this place was likely used as part of the Kalapuyans' seasonal rounds to hunt, gather, and fish different foods based on seasonal abundance.

Even after experiencing devastating losses of lives, land, and culture from colonization, the Kalapuya people persevered. They are still thriving today as part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. These confederated tribes are two of nine federally recognized tribal nations in Oregon and 574 federally recognized tribal nations in the U.S.

Find a book with a gold sticker on the back? No, that's not a ticket to W***y Wonka's. It means 10% of that indigenous-authored or indigenous-themed book's purchase will go toward Springfield's own Chifin Native Youth Center!
