Speakers

The Dakubetede were a sedentary hunter/gatherer tribe of Oregon's Applegate River. The Pacific Coast Athapaskans arrived in the area late in the first millennium from Canada. The tribe was placed, with others, on the Coast Reservation as a result of the Rogue River Wars, and later were removed to the Grand Ronde Reservation where they confederated with other tribes.
