Yes # No DAHP Archaeological Site #: N/A ABSTRACT The City of Walla Walla was awarded a Certified Local Government (CLG) grant by the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) for reconnaissance level built environment survey of a seven-block residential area within the city limits. The survey area, a portion of Section 29, T. 7 N., R. 36 E., W.M., is bounded by Chestnut Street on the north, Malcolm and Morton streets on the south, Chase and South 4th avenues on the west, and South 2nd Avenue and St. John Street on the east. The project comprises portions of Chase’s Addition, Henderson’s Addition, Freise Addition, and an unplatted area, lands totaling approximately 31 acres. The City of Walla Walla contracted with Architectural History & Archaeology! LLC (AHA!) to conduct the survey and report the results; historical research was not included in the scope of work. During the fieldwork, conducted in June 2015, 153 historical properties were recorded and the survey area was identified as the heart of Walla Walla’s historical Germantown. Nearly all historical properties within the survey area are small residences with associated garages and outbuildings, although two churches, several commercial buildings, and two bridges were also recorded. Most of these properties date to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the period of Volga German immigration to the area. Although most of the buildings have been altered through replacement of doors, windows, and other fabric, nearly all remain clearly recognizable as historical. Relatively little modern infill has occurred in the area. The 153 properties were subsequently added to the Washington Historic Property Inventory database and evaluated for National Register of Historic Places eligibility under Criterion C, for their architectural merits, and under other criteria if information were readily available. Although only 22 properties were recommended individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, most buildings in the survey area appear to qualify as contributing elements in a Germantown historic district. Additional research is recommended to identify boundaries of such a district and establish criteria for inclusion of properties.

They have been doing so since time immemorial, an important indigenous concept which describes a time continuum that spans from ancient times to present day. In post- contact years, interactions expanded to include explorers, traders and missionaries, who brought with them new opportunities for trade and intermarriage as well as the devastating circumstances brought by disease, warfare, and the reservation era. Through cultural adaptation and uninterrupted treaty rights, the CTUIR never ceased to continue to travel to the lower Columbia and Willamette River and falls for seasonal traditional practice and for other purposes.

Its inspiration came from Carlos Schwantes historical survey, The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History which provides a glimpse of national events in American history through a regional approach.

The text offers a broad perspective of various ethnicities, political figures, and marginalized identities.

  • Broken Treaties: an Oral History Tracing Oregon's Native Population by Eric Cain and John Rosman Follow OPB March 20, 2017 6:30 P.M
    Broken Treaties: An Oral History Tracing Oregon's Native Population by Eric Cain and John Rosman Follow OPB March 20, 2017 6:30 p.m. | Updated: March 22, 2017 12:22 p.m. “We have been here since time began,” Don Ivy, chief of the Coquille Indian Tribe, said. “We have been here since the first human got here.” For thousands of years, more than 60 tribes lived in Oregon’s diverse environmental regions. At least 18 languages were spoken across hundreds of villages. Natural resources abounded. “Before the non-Indians got here, we were some of the richest people in the world,” said Louie Pitt Jr., director of governmental affairs for the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs. “Oregon has been 100 percent Indian land.” After thousands of years of history, life as the native people knew it was upended in just a few short decades. For the new “Oregon Experience” documentary “Broken Treaties,” native Oregonians reflect on what has been lost since and what’s next for their tribes. The following quotes have been edited for clarity. What Once Was For most of history, Oregon wasn’t divided by lines on a map. It contained four distinct regions that varied in terrain, climate and resources. These variations shaped the way people lived. (The map below shows the cultural and language groups that existed prior to contact with settlers, and what the landscape of official reservations looks like today.) “Each of their landscapes, each of their geographic areas dictated their traditions, dictated their technologies, decided their relationships with others.

Like an interpretive plan, a research guide defines principles for research and interpretive development for an area of historical interest. It is most commonly developed for internal use by an organization that interacts with visitors, such as a national park. The need for such reflection is clear. History is not merely the record of past events. It is also the narrative of those events. Perspectives on many issues–race, gender, the environment–have changed since the early 20th century. These changes in how we have told our history are also part of that history, as much as the events themselves. They furthermore serve to caution us about the ways that interpreting the past can perpetuate as well as document injustice or silence. Improving the quality and accessibility of education about local and regional history is the primary goal of the Frenchtown Historical Foundation Research Guide.

  • Oregon Resources the Beaver State
    Family History Sources in Oregon Resources The Beaver State Oregon History Fur trappers with the Hudson Bay Company were the first non-Native American settlers in Oregon in 1829, followed by Congregational, Methodist, and Catholic missionaries in the 1840s. Encouraged by the missionaries, between 1840 and 1860, nearly 53,000 settlers, mostly from Mississippi, Missouri, and the Ohio River valleys made the trek to Oregon. Native American tribes in Oregon included the Northern Paiute, Sahaptin, Cayuse, Nez Perce, Shoshone, and Klamath Modoc, Tillamook, Clatskanie, Takelma, Latgawa, Coquille, Umpqua, Shasta Costa, Chetco, Tolowa, Dakubetede, Siuslaw, Coos, Molalla, Chinook, Alsea, Yaquina, and Kalapulyan. Multiple wars between the original inhabitants of the area and new settlers took place in the 1800’s resulting often in the relocation of Native Americans to Indian reservations. In 1844, Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and was the capital until 1851 when it was moved to Salem. In 1855, the capital briefly moved to Corvallis, but returned to Salem within the same year. The Oregon Territory was first established in 1848 and included what are now the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Idaho. In 1853, the Territory was split into the Washington and Oregon Territories. The Washington Territory was comprised of the current state of Washington and the parts of Idaho and Montana; the Oregon Territory was current day Oregon and parts of Idaho and Washington. When Oregon became a state in 1859, the rest of the Oregon Territory became part of the Washington Territory. Oregon is the 9th largest state in terms of area and 27th in population.
