I live within Champinefu, the traditional homeland of the Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya.  Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 (Kalapuya …Treaty), Kalapuya people were taken to Corvallis and concentrated into an encampment along the Marys River for 5 months and then forcibly removed from Corvallis to the Grand Ronde.. Today, Kalapuya live within tribal lands or tribally-ceded lands throughout the region. Many Kalapuya are active members of the sovereign nations of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde or the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. Kalapuya culture is alive. For more information watch the Champinefu Webinar Series on the Corvallis-Benton County Library YouTube channel.
