We are the living descendants of Miluk Coos of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians.

Our tribes trace their ancestry back to the aboriginal inhabitants of the South-Central coast of Oregon.

The founders are the sons of Chief Warren Brainard, who traces our family’s heritage to Coos Bay, Oregon and has emphasized the importance of preserving our unique tribal identity.

Chief Brainard’s tenure is marked by a commitment to cultural preservation, economic development, and community empowerment, ensuring the Tribes continue to thrive while honoring our ancestral legacy. https://ctclusi.org/history/
