Grand Ronde Indian Reservation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Ronde Indian Reservation is located on a section of land about 18 miles east of Lincoln City, Oregon, near the town of Grand Ronde, Oregon. Various tribes and bands from all parts of Western Oregon were removed from their homes in the mid-1800s and placed on this reservation. It is owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon.
