The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon Presented by Rebecca McCoun, Tribal Biologist The Importance of Pacific Lamprey (Skakwal*) to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde • Subsistence • Spiritual • Medicinal • Trade & Gift Giving • Way of Life “Skakwal” is Chinook Jargon (also known as chinuk wawa) Cultural Impact Decline of species has had at least three negative impacts for the Tribes of Oregon: • Loss of fishing opportunities in traditional fishing areas. (Members of the Grand Ronde Tribe traditionally used the Salmon River & other coastal streams to harvest lamprey. These systems no longer have harvestable lamprey populations and it is illegal to harvest what is present.) • Tribes must travel greater distances to harvest lamprey With the decline of lamprey many more tribes are relying on the lamprey at the Willamette Falls. Tribes from all over Oregon come to harvest lamprey at the Falls in June and July of each year. • Loss of culture With the decline many young tribal members do not know how to catch and prepare lamprey. Many young tribal members are losing important myths and legends associated with lamprey. Pacific Lamprey Conservation • Pacific Lamprey are culturally revered and intrinsically linked with the long history of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde • The Grand Ronde Tribe wants to see the remaining Pacific Lamprey populations protected, conserved and historic populations restored. • The Grand Ronde Tribe is taking an active part in the study of the Pacific lamprey so that the species and its habitats can be effectively conserved and managed. Pacific Lamprey Background • In 2003 (USFWS) received a petition to list Pacific lamprey • In 2004, the USFWS announced the petition did not contain sufficient information to warrant further review • USFWS encouraged additional data gathering. Upstream Migration of Pacific Lamprey in the Willamette Basin (2006-2012) Project Objectives: 1. Determine timing and movement patterns during upstream migrations 2. Identify over-wintering locations 3. Determine relative use of primary tributaries for spawning 4. Formulate management recommendations CTGR Pacific Lamprey Research 2006 CTGR Pilot Lamprey Study • USGS/PGE tagged 109 Pacific lamprey at the Willamette Falls. Fish were released below the Falls. Only 24 passed the Falls. • CTGR placed 9 fixed receivers on the Upper Willamette tributaries and on the main stem Willamette to track migration. • Boat tracked main stem as well. • Tracking took place late 2006 and in 2007. • CTGR detected 5 of the 24 fish that passed while boat tracking. An additional tagged fish was detected at the Tribe’s fixed receiver site on the Santiam. COLLABORATION . 2008 - CTGR tagged and tracked lamprey with fixed receivers & by mobile tracking. 2009 & 2010 - CTGR & Cramer tracked fish using the fix telemetry sites. - CTGR and OSU worked together to boat tracking. - OSU conducted aerial tracking. June 2011 - CTGR took over downloading 11 receivers for Cramer. CTGR tagged 120 lamprey in the spring and summer of 2011. Currently tracking lamprey with fixed receivers and by boat. ____________________________________________________ Tagging Summary 2008 (CTGR) 2009 (CTGR, CRAMER, PGE,OSU) 2010 (CTGR, CRAMER,OSU) 2011(CTGR) 111 206 219 120 2008 Tagging –At the Falls Tagging –At ODFW Fish Ladder 2009, 2010, 2011 Molalla River at Veolia Water Boat tracking- Bernert’s Treatment Plant Landing, West Linn (Lamprey Study Release Point) Fixed Site Locations River Mile Mainstem Tributary Organization 24 Clackamas CFS Willamette Falls 26 Tualatin CTGR 28 West Linn CTGR 30 Rock Island CFS 37 Molalla CTGR 37 Pudding CFS 46 Champoeg Park CFS 54 Evergreen CTGR 55 Yamhill CTGR 87 Eola CFS 106 Buena Vista CFS 108 Santiam CTGR 108 NF Santiam CFS 108 Luckiamute CTGR 119 Calapooia CTGR 131 Corvallis CFS 133 Mary's CTGR 148 Long Tom CFS 161 Harrisburg CFS 175 Mckenzie CTGR 180 Eugene CTGR 187 Coast Fork CFS 2008 Tracking Results In August 2008 111fish tagged Number of Lampreys Detected 17 fish detected in Upper Detection Sites in 2008 Willamette River Tributaries.

Sample did not capture entire run. Protocol at that time was to tag lamprey with a girth of 10cm or larger. (Moser et al. (2002) and those outlined by USGS in the scope of work for Willamette Falls (Mesa et al. 2005) 14 fish detected close to release site had girths of 10 cm or slightly under. (Dropped tag, fish mortality ?) Tagging protocol was changed in 2009 to have the minimum tagging girth of 10.5cm. 2009 Tracking Results 57 out of 150 lampreys tagged by PGE passed the Falls.

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.

  • WW Everhart Was the First Mayor of Molalla
    My family were some of the first settlers of the Molalla area (W.W. Everhart was the first Mayor of Molalla) and I care passionately about this issue. I wanted to share the following with you, hoping to insert some law, logic and reasoning into these proceedings: As of 2008, there were nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon. They are listed here by the names by which the governments call themselves. • Burns Paiute Tribe • Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians • Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon • Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians • Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation • Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs • Coquille Indian Tribe • Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians • Klamath Tribes A federally recognized tribe is an American Indian or Alaska Native tribal entity that is recognized as having a government-to-government relationship with the United States, with the responsibilities, powers, limitations, and obligations attached to that designation, and is eligible for funding and services from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Furthermore, federally recognized tribes are recognized as possessing certain inherent rights of self-government (i.e., tribal sovereignty) and are entitled to receive certain federal benefits, services, and protections because of their special relationship with the United States.Tribal governments are separate sovereign nations with powers to protect the health, safety and welfare of their members and to govern their lands. This tribal sovereignty predates the existence of the U.S. government and the state of Oregon. The members residing in Oregon are citizens of their tribes, of Oregon and, since 1924, of the United States of America.

  • The Art of Ceremony: Regalia of Native Oregon
    The Art of Ceremony: Regalia of Native Oregon September 28, 2008 – January 18, 2009 Hallie Ford Museum of Art Willamette University Teachers Guide This guide is to help teachers prepare students for a field trip to the exhibition, The Art of Ceremony: Regalia of Native Oregon and offer ideas for leading self-guided groups through the galleries. Teachers, however, will need to consider the level and needs of their students in adapting these materials and lessons. Goals • To introduce students to the history and culture of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal communities • To introduce students to the life ways, traditions, rituals and ceremonies of each of the nine tribal communities through their art and art forms (ancient techniques, materials, preparation, and cultural guidelines and practices) • To understand the relevance of continuity to a culture Objectives Students will be able to • Discuss works of art and different art forms in relation to the history and culture of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribal communities • Discuss various traditional art forms as reflected in the objects and performances represented in the exhibition • Identify a number of traditional techniques, including weaving, beadwork and carving • Discuss tradition and renewal in the art forms of the nine tribal communities and their relationship to the life ways, traditions and rituals of the communities • Make connections to other disciplines Preparing for the tour: • If possible, visit the exhibition on your own beforehand. • Using the images (print out transparencies or sets for students, create a bulletin board, etc.) and information in the teacher packet, create a pre-tour lesson plan for the classroom to support and complement the gallery experience.
