Indigenous people
have been farming here for thousands of years. They cultivated plants, maintained landscapes, and formed complex relationships with the land to steward what helped them thrive.
Settlers
passed laws to take away the land from Native people and gave U.S. citizens the ability to own land taken from Native people, free of charge. Asian Immigrants were almost never granted citizenship, and they rarely owned lands.
For nearly a century
Asian farmers were not allowed to own their land on the west coast, and these laws affected our families for generations. In 1920 more than 26,000 Asian and Asian-American farmers contributed to the Northwest’s economy.

The Chinese railroad workers
We know little about the individual Chinese workers on the railroads.
