Ko-Kwel Nation 2039

Project Details

Jila Coquille Tribal family! Welcome to the future. The goal of this project is to plan and implement a community-wide visioning process for our nation. We need your input. Getting your thoughts will help make sure this work reflects our needs, wants, and desires. We need to hear from everyone, so our vision reflects who we are.
