Although the wine industry in south- ern Oregon has been growing in num- bers of vineyards and production—and steadily increasing the number of visi- tors to the region—to truly grow the in- dustry will require consumers outside the region to start buying Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley wines as a matter of habit. Towards that goal, data from the past decade is certainly encouraging: Tour- ism to Oregon has steadily increased ev- ery year, and wine-tasting is the third top most popular reason for that growth (after historical attractions and cultural trips, but still scoring a respectable 11 percent of tourists reportedly visiting Oregon for wine-tasting). Moreover, and keenly important for the growth of the wine industry, once tourists re- turn home, they often buy reminders of something they “discovered” while in the state.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF DennisJ.Gray for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdis- ciplinary Studies in the co-departments of Anthropology, History and History presentedon May 3, 1985 Title: The Takelma and Their Athapascan Kin:an Ethnographic Synthesis of Southwestn Oregon Abstract approved: `azl'Z--emul David Brauner This study is a synthesis of the available ethnographic and relevant archaeological data pertaining to the Native American groups who formerly occupied the upper Rogue River drainage of southwesternOregon. The information presented in this synthesis concerns thematerial,social and religious aspects of aboriginal life as practiced by the Takelma of the Rogue River Valley, and their culturally akin Athapascan- neighbors,the Da-ku-be-te-de (Applegate River group) and the Tal-tuc-tun-te-da (Galice Creekgroup). The ethnographic material is representative of the time period immediately prior to the subjugation of these NativeAmericans,and their subsequent removal from southwestern Oregon in the 1850s; however,this synthesis has applications to a much greater time period in regional prehistory. Significant newinformation,extracted from the field notes of J. P. Harrington, Melville Jacobs and P. E. Goddard, adds to what has already been published concerning the lifeways of these Native American cultures,as well as clarifying territorial boundary questions in the region. This study is intended to aid and facilitate the anthropological research of southwestern Oregon prehistory, as well as to propose new directions for future
