current form,” said Reddick. “My research
for about 25 years now has focused largely
on the historic acquisition and eventual loss
of the land that comprised the Chemawa
campus.”
In scholarly papers and presentations,
Reddick traces the development of the
school from the mid-1800s until it became
the earliest version of what still stands today.
While Chemawa, and off-reservation
boarding schools in general, have been a
source of controversy for decades, the Sa-
lem school had a less than auspicious begin-
ning. Of the fi rst 14 students who arrived at
Methodist Episcopal Indian Manual Labor
School in Oregon Country at Chemaway
in 1834, seven died, fi ve ran away and only
two “scholars” survived to complete edu-
cational programs. It was modeled after a
similar school in Forest Grove.
Even without a record of success, Meth-
odist Missionary Jason Lee received fund-
ing to build a school in the Salem area in
1842. Within a year, the Mission Board
replaced Lee out of concern he was more
interested in colonization than conversion.
“When Lee and the other early settlers
arrived, the Willamette Valley Tribes had
been diminished by smallpox and other
diseases brought by the Europeans. Their
perception was that the land was effective-
ly unoccupied,” said Reddick. “Training
young Native people to ‘work’ as farmers
and domestics and in manufacturing was
an important part of preparing them to
go back to their reservations and adapt to
property ownership and integration into
the dominant society.”
“Students,” such as they were, took part
in all the daily upkeep of the land and con-
struction projects. Training Native students
in mechanical and agrarian ways, and more
importantly the English language, was seen
as key to assimilating the population into
white society, while obliterating individual
tribes’ cultures.
In 1850, Congress passed the Oregon
Indian Act with the intent to purchase all
tribal lands in the Willamette Valley and
force tribes east of the Cascades. Native
leaders withstood the assault to the extent merce of the day.

REZONED: Redevelopment
will likely be slow
(Continued from Page A1)
“The
earlier
analysis
showed the city lacked the
space needed for 2,248 dwell-
ing units. The defi cit dropped
to 1,964 dwelling units with
the implementation of the
River Cherry Overlay Dis-
trict (RCOD),” said Beth
Goodman of ECONorthwest,
a consulting fi rm that worked
on the plan two years ago and
is continuing the work on the
update.
The drawback to relying
on RCOD to majorly shift
the number of spaces available
is that it’s dependent upon
property owners choosing
to redevelop their properties
to include residential spaces.
Owners can decide to rein-
vest in Keizer, but it would be
more likely to them to wait
for some sort of incentive
program provided by the city.
The latter is unlikely given
Keizer’s severely constrained
tax base.
“We think redevelopment
of existing properties will be
very slow,” said Goodman.
Since commercial prop-
erties were rezoned, Keiz-
er did attract one developer
who constructed a mixed use
space with commercial offi ces
on the street-level fl oor and
apartments on top, but that
was a new development.
The city completed a ver-
sion of the HNA/BLI report
in 2019, but that report was
based on projected hous-
ing needs within the Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB) that
includes both Salem and Keiz-
er, Keizer-specifi c numbers
are expected this spring and
the city is laying the ground-
work for an larger update.
Keizer is expected to grow
by roughly 10,000 people
during the next 20 years, or
about 25%. If that holds true,
and Keizer is required by the
state to have land available for
the growth, changes will like-
ly be needed in the UGB that
binds Salem and Keizer to-
gether and hems in sprawl.
“A few years ago, Salem had
a big surplus of space for sin-
gle-family and medium-den-
sity housing,” Goodman said.
She was also a consultant on a
similar project for Salem.
If Salem has the capacity
to absorb all the growth for
both cities, state offi cials could
come back to Keizer and say
there is no need for the city
to expand. If the Departent of
Land Conservation and De-
velopment determines that
Keizer must absorb a signif-
icant share of the growth, a
solution to the UGB entan-
glement would need to be
found.
Keizer has roughly 235
acres of developable land and
would need to add 192 dwell-
ing units per year for the next
20 years to house another
10,000 people.
The new draft of the study
is expected to be complete by
June. Once adopted by the
city council, it will trigger the
need for a housing production
study. A housing production
strategy must include a list of
specifi c actions that the city
shall undertake to promote
development within the city
to address housing needs iden-
tifi ed in their HNA.
