My Project

Our land is so rich in history! Each year I teach my 2nd graders about the Kalapuya tribe of the Pacific Northwest. We learn about the people, environment, traditions, and their connection to their land.

My students have joined the Camas Restoration Project, started by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.

We will be learning how to grow and nurture the camas plant that was and is a staple of the Kalapuya people with potting soil, planters, and other materials. What better way can we learn about a group of people, who are the true original settlers in Oregon, than to walk in their shoes? Help us learn by donating the very important materials we need to get started!
