The Native People of the Tualatin River, Past, Present and Future Directions

Wednesday, October 22, 6-8 pm, Tigard Library, 13500 SW Hall 97223

The native people who lived in this area before the pioneers arrived were part of the Atfalati band of the Kalapuya. If you’d like to learn more about their life and the future of the tribes, here’s a good opportunity.

David Harrelson is Kalapuya and a member of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. David works for his community as the Program Manager of the Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) at Grand Ronde. David’s interests include the cultural use of plants, contact era history of the Pacific Northwest, and maintenance of ecological systems through traditional land management.

This talk is presented as a cooperative effort of Tigard Library, Tualatin Riverkeepers and The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. Find more information on the Tualatin Riverkeepers website.
