Educational day park
needs name
Construction is nearly completed on an educational day
park near the confluence of the North Fork and main stem
of Agency Creek. The park covers about five acres and has
over a 12 mile of nature trails. When completed, the park
will contain educational signs which will explain subjects
from riparian areas to stream restoration. It will also have
tags identifying the common plants of the area.
One thing we don't have is a name for the park. We are
seeking suggestions from all tribal members for a name for
the park. We are open to all suggestions, but here are some
of the ideas we have so far.
1. OLALLIE DAY PARK. Olallie is the original Chi
nook term for salmon berry, a plant species very common
in the park.
2. MOW1TCH DAY PARK: This is the Chinook term
for deer, but the term was often used for other animals.
3. HIYU DAY PARK: Hiyu is the Chinook term for
storm. The park has already gone through two of Oregon's
largest storms last winter while it was being built.
4. AGENCY CREEK DAY PARK: No need to explain
this basic name.
Obviously, most of the names listed above come from
Chinook jargon. If anyone knows any names based on the
language of the original five tribes of the reservation we
would love to hear them. This is your park and your land;
the name should reflect that.
You can send your suggestions to:
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
Fish and Wildlife Department
P.O. Box 70, Willamina, OR 97396
Or you may call Kelly Doerksen at 1-800-422-0232.
