- Description
-
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community (CTGRC) of Oregon includes over 30 tribes and bands from western Oregon, northern California, and southwest Washington. The Grand Ronde Tribe’s federal recognition ended in 1954 when Congress passed the Western Oregon Termination Act, however, it was restored in 1983. The CTGRC advocates for tribe’s cultural resources (artifacts, materials, places, and practices) through its Historic Preservation Office, provides the tribal community a range of opportunities to engage with cultural knowledge through its Cultural Education Program, and tells the story of the community through the Chachalu Museum and Cultural Center. Powwows are social events where dancers and drummers showcase their talent and the CTGRC celebrate who they are as a tribal people; all are welcome to attend. The annual Contest Powwow showcases the cultural celebratory practices of multiple generations and backgrounds within the CTCRC. Members enter competitions and receive crowns, sashes, and prize money for their performances.
