Calapooia Indian Presentation



Mr Tony Farque, archaeologist of the Forest Service joined us on Monday morning the 7th of April to enlighten us on the Indian tribe that lived here in our area, The Kalapuya Indians (also known as the Calapooya or Calapooia). We all learned a lot from him, and the kids loved his table of items he let them explore.

Mr Farque is going to take us on a field trip up to Cascadia Park to see the petroglyph's and explain some of the history of our area to us. Plan to join us. The possible dates are April 23rd, or May 6th. We are waiting for confirmation. Check back as we will post the date once confirmed. It will be an all day venture, which proves to be fun. Pack a lunch, put on your mud boots, and join us for a fun, learning experience.
