ONE ENVIRONMENT AND ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE LOWER COLUMBIA Elizabeth A. Sobel, Kenneth M. Ames, and Robert J. Losey HE Columbia is the great river of the American West. The interplay of river, ocean, mountains, and climate produced a rich and produc­ Ttive but dynamic environment, and people have lived in and adjusted to this environment for at least 12,000 years. The fourth largest river in North America, the Columbia is exceeded in water volume only by the Mississippi, St. Lawrence, and Mackenzie Rivers. Its source is in British Columbia, on the west slope of the Canadian Rockies. Between there and where it enters the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia flows 1,268 miles (2,040 kilometers), winds through four mountain ranges, descends 2,657 feet (810 meters), drains 257.993 square miles (668,200 square kilometers), generates more hydro­ electric power than any other waterway in North America, and historically has supported more salmon than just about any other North American river (Roberge 1985:11-16; Schwantes 1989:12). The Lower Columbia generally refers to the river's final 196-mile (315-kilometer) run from the western edge of the Columbia Plateau to the Pacific Ocean. The Lower Columbia begins at The Dalles, a constricted por­ tion of the river channel also called Five Mile Rapids or the Long Narrows. From there to the Pacific, the river flows through four distinct physiographic provinces-Cascade Range, Willamette-Puget Lowland, Coastal Uplands, and Outer Coast. Below The Dalles, the Columbia cuts 75 miles (120 kilometers) westward through the Cascade Mountains, which extend north from California though Oregon and Washington to British Columbia. At 14,436 feet (4,400 meters), Mount Rainier is the highest peak and is visible from the Columbia River on Boyd, Robert T., Kenneth M. Ames, and Tony A. Johnson, eds.

Lower peaks in the Cascade Range are generally 3,000-6,500 feet (914-1,981 meters) high. Rainfall is heavy on the Cascades' western slopes, averaging as much as 98 inches (250 centimeters) annually. Dense forests are dominated by Doug­ las-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) (Avery 1961:23; Orr et al. 1992:141-48; Schwantes 1989:?-14). The Columbia River Gorge, where the river passes through the Cascade Range, was created some two million years ago and is defined by steep basal­ tic walls up to 3,900 feet (1,200 meters) high. The Gorge formerly contained a waterfall and a series of rapids that early Euro-American travelers called the Cascade Rapids, now submerged beneath Bonneville Dam. Tides affect Columbia River water levels as far east as Bonneville Dam, 186 miles (300 kilometers) from the sea. As the only near-sea-level passage through the Cascade Mountains, the Gorge is extremely windy and wet and occasionally very cold, particularly during winter periods when winds push into the Gorge from the east. Moist coastal air moves eastward through the Gorge and upward, over the mountains, generating roughly 71 inches (180 centime­ ters) of precipitation annually (Orr et al. 1992:153-55; USGS 2008). After leaving the Gorge, the Columbia takes its 53-mile (85-kilometer) course through the Portland Basin, called the Wapato Valley and Colum­ bian Valley by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. This lowland-which contains the cities of Portland and Gresham, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington-is part of the larger Puget-Willamette Lowland, an alluvial plain some 137 miles (220 kilometers) in length and 18 miles (30 kilometers) in average width. The lowland runs south from Puget Sound to southwest Oregon, flanked on the east by the Cascade Range and on the west by the Coast Range. The Puget-Willamette Lowland is humid with a long growing season, high biodiversity, and high biomass. Historically, this biologically rich landscape encompassed multiple habitats, including wetlands, riparian forests, oak woodland savannas, and meadows. The adjoining foothills bore coniferous forest. The Columbia's course through the Wapato Valley is broad and slow, weaving through swampy bottomlands, winding among islands, and diverging into numerous sloughs (Ames and Sobel 2009:2; Hajda 1984:51-55; Orr et al. 1992:203-4; Schwantes 1989:7-14). Departing the Wapato Valley, the river flows 62 miles (100 kilometers) through the Coast Range. In Oregon, the crest of the Coast Range averages Boyd, Robert T., Kenneth M. Ames, and Tony A. Johnson, eds. Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia. pp. 23-41. © 2013. Reprinted with permission of the University of Washington Press. 24 E. A. Sobel, K. M. Ames, and R. J. Losey 1,500 feet (460 meters) in elevation, and some peaks rise more than 4,000 feet (1,200 meters); in Washington, the Willapa Hills have rounded peaks gener­ ally less than 200 feet (60 meters) in elevation. The coastal mountains have mild winters, cool summers, and thick vegetation dominated by Douglas-fir, red cedar, and western hemlock (Livingston 1969:1-3; Orr et al. 1992:167-80; Schwantes 1989:7-14). As the Columbia River flows through the Coast Range, it enters its estuary and becomes exceptionally broad, flowing through flat, sandy plains and reaching its maximum width of 9 miles (15 kilometers) about 12 miles (20 kilometers) before reaching the Pacific Ocean. The river mouth is almost 4 miles (6 kilometers) wide between Cape Adams on the south and Cape Disappointment on the north. The Columbia's broad entrance, where heavy fogs are typical, prevented European and US explorers from detecting the mouth of the river until 1792, 17 years after the first maritime explorations of the Pacific Northwest; the expeditions that sailed by the river's mouth during those years thought it was simply a bay (Hajda 1984:35-46; Ruby and Brown 1976:24-58). The Columbia's mouth is not only large but also exceedingly rough, and entry into the river is treacher­ ous. Since European arrival in 1792, hundreds of individuals have died and some two thousand vessels have sunk trying to cross the river mouth. It is the third most dangerous river entrance on earth and the only US entrance requiring river bar pilots (Dietrich 1995:97). Most of these environmental features were in place well before European contact. The Columbia Plateau is 17 million years old, and the Cascade Moun­ tains are 2 million years old. Over the past 20 thousand years, the Lower Columbia River area was significantly modified by geological processes, including glacial activity during the Late Pleistocene or Ice Age. Between 19 and 12.5 thousand years ago, glacial Lake Missoula in eastern Montana repeatedly breached ice dams, generating a series of catastrophic floods across eastern Washington and the Lower Columbia River Basin. Carrying ice, huge boulders, and tons of debris, the so-called Missoula Floods scoured eastern Washington and then entered the Columbia River about 81 miles (130 kilometers) east of The Dalles. The floods steepened the walls of the Columbia River Gorge and deposited huge volumes of gravel and other sediments in the Wapato Valley (Orr et al. 1992:209-14). The most recent large-scale geological events affecting the Lower Colum­ bia are the Cascade Landslides in the Gorge. The latest of these, the Bonne­ ville Landslide, occurred between AD 1400 and AD 1500, and its debris formed a natural dam that temporarily blocked the Columbia. The river Boyd, Robert T., Kenneth M.

  • Trade and Change on the Columbia Plateau 1750-1840 Columbia Magazine, Winter 1996-97: Vol
    Trade and Change on the Columbia Plateau 1750-1840 Columbia Magazine, Winter 1996-97: Vol. 10, No. 4 By Laura Peers Early Europeans saw the Columbia Plateau as a walled fortress, isolated and virtually impossible to penetrate through the Rocky Mountain and Cascade ranges that formed its outer defenses. Fur traders and missionaries saw it as a last frontier, virgin and unspoiled. But this was an outsider's view. To the native people of the region, the Plateau was the center of the world, linked to the four corners of the continent by well-worn paths and a dense social and economic network. In fact, the Plateau was a crossroads for trade, one that became increasingly busy between 1750 and 1850. During this pivotal century, the quickening pace of trade became an uncontrolled torrent, a flash flood of new goods, new ideas and new diseases, an explosion of change, sometimes beneficial and sometimes deadly. By the late prehistoric era there were two major trade centers on the Plateau: at The Dalles, on the middle Columbia River, and at Kettle Falls, several hundred miles away on the upper Columbia. Members of tribes from across the Plateau and from the West Coast to the Missouri River converged on these sites every year. An astonishing quantity and variety of goods were exchanged at these sites, including dried fish from the Columbia; baskets, woven bags and wild hemp for fishnets from the Plateau region; shells, whale and seal oil and bone from the West Coast; pipestone, bison robes and feather headdresses from the Plains; and nuts and roots from as far away as California.

  • Historical Overview
    HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT The following is a brief history of Oregon City. The intent is to provide a general overview, rather than a comprehensive history. Setting Oregon City, the county seat of Clackamas County, is located southeast of Portland on the east side of the Willamette River, just below the falls. Its unique topography includes three terraces, which rise above the river, creating an elevation range from about 50 feet above sea level at the riverbank to more than 250 feet above sea level on the upper terrace. The lowest terrace, on which the earliest development occurred, is only two blocks or three streets wide, but stretches northward from the falls for several blocks. Originally, industry was located primarily at the south end of Main Street nearest the falls, which provided power. Commercial, governmental and social/fraternal entities developed along Main Street north of the industrial area. Religious and educational structures also appeared along Main Street, but tended to be grouped north of the commercial core. Residential structures filled in along Main Street, as well as along the side and cross streets. As the city grew, the commercial, governmental and social/fraternal structures expanded northward first, and with time eastward and westward to the side and cross streets. Before the turn of the century, residential neighborhoods and schools were developing on the bluff. Some commercial development also occurred on this middle terrace, but the business center of the city continued to be situated on the lower terrace. Between the 1930s and 1950s, many of the downtown churches relocated to the bluff as well.

Any republication, retransmission, reproduction, or sale of all or part of this curriculum is prohibited. Introduction Welcome to the Grand Ronde Tribal History curriculum unit. We are thankful that you are taking the time to learn and teach this curriculum to your class. This unit has truly been a journey. It began as a pilot project in the fall of 2013 that was brought about by the need in Oregon schools for historically accurate and culturally relevant curriculum about Oregon Native Americans and as a response to countless requests from Oregon teachers for classroom- ready materials on Native Americans. The process of creating the curriculum was a Tribal wide effort. It involved the Tribe’s Education Department, Tribal Library, Land and Culture Department, Public Affairs, and other Tribal staff. The project would not have been possible without the support and direction of the Tribal Council. As the creation was taking place the Willamina School District agreed to serve as a partner in the project and allow their fourth grade teachers to pilot it during the 2013-2014 academic year. It was also piloted by one teacher from the Pleasant Hill School District. Once teachers began implementing the curriculum, feedback was received regarding the effectiveness of lesson delivery and revisions were made accordingly. The teachers allowed Tribal staff to visit during the lessons to observe how students responded to the curriculum design and worked after school to brainstorm new strategies for the lessons and provide insight from the classroom teacher perspective.

Converse ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: The history of the Pacific Northwest has favored large, extractive and national industries such as the fur trade, mining, lumbering, fishing and farming over smaller pioneer enterprises. This multi-disciplinary study attempts to address that oversight by focusing on the early brickmakers in „the Oregon Country‟. Using a combination of archaeometry and historical research, this study attempts to make use of a humble and under- appreciated artifact – brick – to flesh out the forgotten details of the emergence of the brick industry, its role in the shifting local economy, as well as its producers and their economic strategies. Procedure: Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis was performed on 89 red, common bricks archaeologically recovered from Fort Vancouver and 113 comparative samples in an attempt to „source‟ the brick.
