  • 1. Santiam Molalla History, Culture, and Geography the Name “Molalla
    1 1. Santiam Molalla History, Culture, and Geography The name “Molalla” has at least 27 historical spellings. It is said to be derived from the words “moolek” for elk and “olilla” for berries (Winkler 1984). This would seemingly be a good name for their land, which produced abundant elk and berries, as well as for the people, who were known to extensively trade specialty products from these plants and animals. Preserved huckleberries and blackberries, elk hides, jerked meat, and elkhorn spoons were all trade goods associated with Molallans. Beargrass and willow weaving materials were also important trade items, due to their universal value and general abundance in Molalla lands. The Santiam Molalla were known as good elk hunters, good berry pickers, accomplished traders, bitter and fierce enemies of the Cayuse to the east, and good friends, family, and business associates with the Klamath to the south. They were also said to be poor guides when more than 35 miles from their homes, indicating a relatively concentrated and productive Tribal territory of seasonal use and trade route patterns (Minto 1903). Molallan Geography. Very little is known about the Molallan history or culture (Winkler 1984; Ruby and Brown 1986; Zenk and Rigsby 1998), but there is good agreement on early historical Molallan geography. During the 1750- 1850 late precontact/early historical time period of this study, Molallans occupied nearly the entire western slope of the Oregon Cascades Range, from the Columbia River south, almost to California. The Molalla are believed to have been organized into three, or possibly four, major “bands,” or tribes.
