Wednesday, October 23, 2024
Doors open at 5:45pm and the program runs from 6 – 7 p.m.
Dr. David Lewis, OSU professor and author
Oregon Indigenous historian David G. Lewis combines years of researching historical documents and collecting oral stories, highlighting Native perspectives about the history of the Willamette Valley as they experienced it (from Amazon.com). Dr. Lewis will be talking about his book, Tribal Histories of the Willamette Valley.
The Willamette Valley is rich with history—its riverbanks, forests, and mountains home to the tribes of Kalapuya, Chinook, Molalla, and more for thousands of years. This history has been largely unrecorded, incomplete, poorly researched, or partially told.
Dr. David Lewis is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, a descendant of the Santiam, Chinook and Takelma Peoples of Western Oregon, and a former Cultural Manager of the tribe who planned and designed the tribal museum at Grand Ronde. He currently is a full-time faculty at OSU Anthropology and Ethnic Studies (Native Studies) Dept.
