Native American people have called Oregon home for time immemorial. For too long we have been erased.  Native peoples matter – We Count. The more we are counted the louder our voice. If you haven’t already participated in the 2020 Census – do your census today online at my 2020 census dot gov (https://my2020census.gov/) before time runs out next Wednesday.
