    1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Society: Cowlitz (Name for themselves is Stl'pumsh), Language: Lower Cowlitz Language (Stl'pulimuhkl), Language Family: Salishan Language Family. *The original Cowlitz language has been lost* (2, “Lower Cowlitz Language”) The Upper Cowlitz took on a different (Sahaptin) language from their “Lower” counterparts. “Lower Cowlitz was a Salishan language of Washington state, related to Chehalis. The people called themselves Stl'pulmsh-- Cowlitz was the name of the river whose banks they lived on. The Upper Cowlitz, who used to live further up the same river, is a Sahaptin tribe who spoke a dialect of the unrelated Yakama language. Forced together onto the same reservation, the two tribes rapidly lost their languages, and today neither Cowlitz Salish nor Cowlitz Sahaptian is spoken any longer.” (2, “Lower Cowlitz Language) 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): ISO 639: cow 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): Southwestern Washington, Kelso (the seat of Cowlitz County and an original Cowlitz village) is located at Latitude: N 46° 8' 48.4044" Longitude: W 122° 54' 30.4002" (7) 1.4 Brief history: “The Cowlitz Indians were originally considered to be "a large and powerful Salishan tribe." Because they were an interior tribe (that is, their territory did not open onto a large body of water), they were more cohesive than other Salish groups on the coast and Columbia River, said anthropologist Verne Ray, who has intensively studied the tribe. One of the earliest accounts describes their swoop downriver to attack a Chinookan village at the mouth of the Cowlitz.

Fountain, Chair Jim E. O’Connor Scott F. Burns Portland State University 2015 Abstract River systems, such as the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest, USA have been influenced by human activities, resulting in changes to the physical processes that drive landform evolution. This work describes an inventory of landforms along the Columbia River estuary between the Pacific Ocean and Bonneville Dam in Oregon and Washington. Groupings of landforms are assigned to formative process regimes that are used to assess historical changes to floodplain features. The estuary was historically a complex system of channels with a floodplain dominated by extensive tidal wetlands in the lower reaches and backswamp lakes and wetlands in upper reaches.

Department of the Interior Agency: Bureau of [ndian Affairs Action: Record of Decision for the Trust Acquisition of) and Reservation Proclamation for, the 151.87-acre La Center Interchange Site in Clark County, Washington, for the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Summary: On January 4, 2002, the Cowlitz Indian Tribe (Cowlitz Indian Tribe, Cowlitz Tribe, or Tribe) was federally recognized through the Bureau or Indian Affairs's (BIA) administrative acknowledgment process. On that same date, the Tribe, which is landless, submitted a fee-to-bust application to the BIA, requesting that the Department of the Interior (Department) accept trust title to land totaling 151.87 acres in Clark County, Washington (the Cowlitz Parcel). The Tribe requested that the Cowlitz Parcel be proclaimed its "initial reservation," and plans to construct tribal govenunent buildings, tribal elder housing, a tribal cultural center, a casino-resort complex, parking facilities, a recreational vehicle park, and a wastewater treatment plant. The Proposed Action (the Tlibe's proposed trust acquisition and reservation proclamation) was analyzed as Alternative A in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared pursuant to the Natjonal Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), under the direction and supervision of the BJA Northwest Regional Office. The Draft EIS was issued for public review and comment on April) 2, 2006. After an extended comment period, two public hearings, and consideration and incorporation of comments received on the Draft EIS, BlA issued the final EIS on May 30, 2008.

    A - Te ioy of h Poa DithTic Corps 0f Egirteers ii 871 1969 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, PORTLAND CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND, OREGON Printed: March 1970 This history of the Portland District was researched, and edited by Henry R. Richmond!!!, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he was a history major. FOREWORD Since arriving in Portland in July 1967 to become District Engineer, I have had many opportunities to acquaint myself with the long, colorful history of the Portland District. One hundred years ago, the work of the District consisted of small, simple, almost quaint efforts to improve navigation. Pulling snags from river waterways, cutting a bar to seventeen feet with a primitive old bucket dredge, or dynamiting rocks out of the Columbia River are repre- sentative of the work done in the early days. By comparison, the massive, complex dams built by the District in modern times have made significant changes in the Columbia and Willamette river valleys. The story of how and why the District has progressed from small dredging and snagging activities to a great multiple purpose construction program is a very interesting one. Even more worthwhile is the story of how the work of the District has contributed to the welfare of the people of the Northwest. As this history explains, the work of the Corps helped to open up the Northwest. The prosperity of Portland and the Willamette Valley depended in large part on the early navigation projects of the Portland District. The Oregon Coast has been opened up to shipping by large jetty and dredging projects.

Coursing through gaps in tall ranges and moving down valleys to the sea, the rivers form natural highways, and men fol- low them afloat, afoot and on wheels. When a river valley hap- pens to connect two large areas that are suitable for habitation, it becomes a well-trodden and much used pathway of com- merce, and its history becomes one of movement. Such a valley is the narrow one through which the Cowlitz River flows after leaving its headwaters in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, running a crooked course westward through deep can- yons and over foaming cascades till it reaches the great bend at the prairie and turns south to follow a usually gentle course to the Columbia. The Pacific slope was so made that the high range of the Cas- cades, containing such lofty peaks as Baker, Rainier, St.

    Photomural image by Richard Gordon Bowen, May 18, 1980 Courtesy of the Bowen Family Indigenous peoples along the Columbia River used the substance of adjacent volcanoes—particularly basalt, andesite, and obsidian—to create objects of great beauty for utilitarian, cultural, and aesthetic purposes. The extraordinary sculptures displayed here were made from various forms of basalt, the most common volcanic rock, which is formed by the rapid cooling of lava near the surface. These objects were selected from the collections of the Portland Art Museum to recognize the original inhabitants of our common landscape and the importance that Native peoples have long assigned to the many volcanoes in our area.

I remember visiting the area a couple of years later with my family and seeing everything pumice-grey, with all the fallen trees and mud-lines from the lahars on the trees that still stood. I wore out the Everett Herald’s short book Mount St. Helens Erupts, which had stories of victims and survivors alongside photos of the destruction. They were powerful images that stuck with me. These three paintings are inspired by the four time-lapse photos of the eruption taken by Vern Hodgson.

  • Columbia River Valley. 7Rom ?He Zalles to the Sea
    HISTORY of the Columbia River Valley. 7rom ?he Zalles to the Sea By FRED LOCKLEY Volume I Illustrated CHICAGO THE S.J. CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1928 FRED LOCKLEY as FOREWORD There is a great human interest story in the valley of the Columbia Rivera romance of early mythsof Indian life and loreof the dis-. coveries of explorers by land and seaof settlement and empire building. There can be no doubt as to the importance of preserving the early records of this district in permanent form.Historians have already recorded dates, census-takers have tabulated the increase of population and works of reference abound. But I believe there is a field for another sort of historynot one of mere facts and figures, but one full of human interest.Since boyhood I have been interested in the stories of pioneers and of pioneer life.During the past quarter of a century it has been my good fortune to meet and talk with thousands of pioneersto inter- view them and to record their experiences in the columns of the daily press.It has seemed eminently fitting to gather the information thus gained into a more complete worka summing up of thousands of per- sonal contacts and to portray in graphic form the motives, difficulties and achievements that have combined to make the Columbia River Valley what it is today.I hope that this work may help to perpetuate the memories of those who contributed to the upbuilding of the Oregon Country and may prove of interest, not only to those of us who are here today, but to our successors, who shall continue to build when we have passed on.I appreciate to the full the work that has been done by previous writers and all I can hope to do is to supplement what they have done.
