Description:
The Kalapuya people have lived in the Willamette Valley since long before the arrival of settlers in the early 19th century, and their rock art is still visible at Cascadia Cave. Located on the South Fork of the Santiam River, this area is both culturally and geologically significant. This site, on the National Register of Historic Places, has been used for almost 8000 years. It is on private land but the Sweet Home Ranger District has permission to lead guide tours.
USFS archaeologist Tony Farque will present an informative and entertaining talk about the Kalapuya and their connection to this site.
Donations to the tribe representatives can be made if they attend this outing.
