User:Emma.Fagan/Native American peoples of Oregon/Outline

[The following text and subheadings are copied from the page Native American peoples of Oregon. All text in brackets are my own additions and notes.]

Existing Lead
The Native American peoples of Oregon are the set of indigenous peoples who have inhabited or who still inhabit the area delineated in today's state of Oregon in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. While the state of Oregon currently maintains relations with nine federally recognized tribal groups, the state was previously home to a much larger number of autonomous tribal groups, which today either no longer exist or have been absorbed into these larger confederated entities.
