FDI - Kalapuyan Tribes

The Kalapuyan Tribes were semi-sedentary hunter/gatherer tribes who lived in the valley of the Willamette River and its tributaries. Their population declined rapidly with the arrival of Whites though they had long time been victims of slaving raids from the Columbia River tribes.
