UO LIBRARY SYSTEM PRESERU 1299 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON EUGENE OR 97403-1205 By Peta Tinda The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde's Cultural Resources Department, in cooperation with the Mission Mill Museum Associa tion, have collaborated on the re printing of Dr. Harold Mackey's book, The Kalapuyans, long one of the most acces- UtV- sible resources for information and history on the Natives of the Willamette Val ley. The book had been out of print for 30 years, was difficult to locate and in most cases the original bind ings had fallen apart. The book has been re-released with the permis sion of the Mackey family in a second edition with a new cover, new photographs and a new after ward explaining the Grand Ronde Tribal perspective. There is also an updated bibliography with more current, accurate sources. "It's meant to be a starting point for people who want to learn more June Olson, Cultural Resources Department Manager about Willamette Valley Natives, linguistics, or tbe Tribe. We clari fied some of the topics and elabo rated on some issues from a Tribal perspective, rather than a settler's perspective," said Tribal Cultural Collection Specialist Lindy Trolan, vl who worked closely with the Mission Mill staff on the project. The book, first published in 1974, is a com pilation of early records, treaty negotiations, chief speeches, archeological records and court docu ments. It was originally planned as a source for teach ers on local Tribes of the Willamette Valley. Mackey gathered material from museum archives and local records, putting them together in book form, while adding very little of his KALAPUYANS continued on page 3
