Land Acknowledgement
KALO is currently located in what is now called, Beaverton, Oregon. As kanaka ʻōiwi living on the continent, we would like to acknowledge the land that we currently occupy and stand on. We honor the traditions and culture of the Kalapuya tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla, and many more Indigenous communities who are the original caretakers of the land. It is important to recognize that while Pacific Islanders remain Indigenous in our own ways and in our own homelands, we are all simply visitors here. As a community-based organization, the mission and values of KALO works to preserve Indigineity within ourselves and with the people around us. It is an honor and privilege to share this space with our ʻohana as their legacies continues to live on.
Mahalo nui loa for your continued contribution to our community and the society at large.
