Tribal Library Collection

We extend thanks and appreciation to all Tribal contributors and consultants—past, present and future—who have invested and shared their time, talent and wisdom to make these materials available. We also offer gratitude to the National Library of Medicine Region V and the State Library of Oregon for helping grow this collection. The result is a dazzling display of Native resilience and creativity to support us all in caring for Oregon's Native children. Please reference ORPARC's full library and library page for more information.

If you know of an item that should be in this collection, please let us know!

“When I learned how to combine my writing and my images together, that’s when I became more powerful as a communicator...I just love the way they inform each other.” ~Steph Littlebird (Grand Ronde) - author/illustrator in ORPARC's library
