After long hours of historical research, David Lewis and his fellow graduate student Scott Byram have found many reasons to believe the
name Oregon originated from a Native American word.
Oregon
continued from page 1
even fielding interviews from the
British Broadcasting Corporation
about their work. He has been sur
prised by the interest but is relishing
the opportunity to highlight the oth
er topics in their work that go be
yond where Oregon got its name.
As a member of the Confederated
Tribes of Grand Ronde, he wants to
see Native American history taught
starting in elementary school and
give Native American students at
every education level a chance to see
that their people and history are es
sential portions of American history.
“I hope the people who follow
me will write these histories and
balance the perspective of what this
land is,” he said.
Lewis added that he would also
like to see the historical and anthro
pological fields give more credibili
ty to oral history. Much of his and
Byram’s research is based on trac
ing European and American writ
ten words back into Native Ameri
can verbal accounts.
“Anthropology tends to say tribal
history is simply folklore or myth,”
Lewis said. “We’re saying tribal his
tory is important — and historically
important.”
Keddington-Lang said the extra
issues involved helped the article
make it into the Quarterly.
“It does make a lot of connec
tions and goes beyond the origin of
[the name of] Oregon,” she said.
Lewis said he and Byram are
looking for funding to expand the
article into a book not just about the
name, but tribal history, linguistics,
the Native American fishing trade
and other issues that connect to
current popular American history.
“In a sense, we share the same
history,” Lewis said.
