Chahalpam, which means “place of the Santiam Kalapuya people” in the Santiam Kalapuya language, is directly across the North San- tiam River from the 1851 Santiam Kalapuya Reservation identified by Chief Alquema as the most im- portant homeland and the one that the Santiam Kalapuya wanted as a reservation. However, the 1851 treaty was never ratified by Congress. The area was included in the Willa- mette Valley Treaty that was rat- ifi ed in1855. “The strong Tribal connection to its homeland remains to this day,” Reibach said, “and will strengthen as the Chahalpam Wildlife Area is expanded.” Reibach thanked several Tribal departments in helping with the acquisition, including Tribal Coun- cil, the General Manager’s Offi ce, Tribal Attorney’s Offi ce, the Ced- ed Lands, Tribal Realty Program and Tribal Historical Preservation Office in the Land and Culture Department, Geographic Informa- tion Systems, Natural Resources, Public Works and Facilities and Finance. He also thanked partners Western Rivers Conservancy, Bon- neville Power Administration and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. “The Tribe remains committed to recover and restore important resources within our treaty lands, and to that end there’s much work to do, but today is a good day to cel- ebrate the expansion of the Chahal- pam Wildlife Area,” Reibach said. n Happy 4th Birthday Log!
