Learn about the Kalapuya Indigenous people, past and present, with instructor Karen Rainsong, who is the Exec. Dir of SCEC. This presentation and guided hike is best for adults and teens. Learn about native plants and their uses as well as tools such as baskets, digging sticks, cordage, the atlatl and more.

Bring some cash as a donation to the Friend’s of Hendricks park for this presentation. Hike will include some gentle uphill climbs and is not generally considered wheelchair friendly, although the opening talk in the park is accessible.

See items of material culture, and listen to a Kalapuya story (permission for Karen to tell this story has been given by Esther Stutzman, a local Kalapuya elder.) Karen has been learning about and from Indigenous people for 20 years.
