| Description |
The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians is one of nine federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments in the State of Oregon, and one of more than 550 federally recognized Indian Tribal Governments in the country. The Cow Creek Tribal Nation, located in Southwestern Oregon, is governed by an elected eleven-member council known as the Tribal Board of Directors. The Tribe maintains contracts with the Federal government to operate programs for the benefit of the membership of the Tribe. As a sovereign entity, the Tribal government has governing power similar to that of the State level of government, as well as a governing Constitution.
The Cow Creek Constitution states that it was adopted “…to form effective Tribal government, to secure and protect the powers inherent in our sovereign status and guaranteed to us by treaty and Federal law, to preserve our culture and Tribal identity, to promote the social and economic welfare of our people, to secure, protect, and develop our common resources, to maintain peace and order and safeguard individual rights, and to advance our mutual welfare.”
