ISBN: 9781880377024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1991, The First Oregonians has been revised and expanded for a new generation of Oregonians. It provides a comprehensive view of Oregons native peoples from the past to the present.\nIn this remarkable volume, Oregon Indians tell their own stories—more than half of the chapters are written by members of Oregons nine federally recognized tribes. Using oral histories and personal recollections, these chapters vividly depict not only a history of decimation and decline, but also a contemporary view of cultural revitalization, renewal, and continuity. The First Oregonians also includes essays by prominent Northwest scholars exploring geography, federal-Indian relations, language, and art.\nNo other book offers as wide a variety of views and stories about the historical and contemporary experience of Oregon Indians. The First Oregonians is the definitive volume for anyone interested in the fascinating story of Oregon’s first peoples.\nContributors: C.
