This exhibit, guest-curated by University of Oregon student Marisol Peters (class of 2027, Karuk), explores Indigenous land relationships in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Working at the intersections between the land, water, culture and history, "The Land We Have Always Known" asks us to re-evaluate our beliefs about our more-than-human relatives and consider ways in which we can heal our world by changing the way we relate to the land.
