The World of the Kalapuya by Judy Rycraft Juntunen, May D. Dasch and Ann Bennett Rogers with illustrations by Lenore Ooyevaar and Don Boucher  adds an important chapter to the story of indigenous Western Oregon.

This synthesis of research and oral traditions, guided by tribal elder Merle Holmes, opens the path to traditional cultural history and landscapes.  This well illustrated and documented book is skillfully crafted and sheds much light on the earliest human population in Oregon.

Kalapuyas who are members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde are alive and well, and carrying their people's legacy into the future.
