| The Tututni were a sedentary hunter/gatherer tribe of Oregon's Rogue River at its mouth and along the neighboring coast. 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 all were removed to the Siletz Reservation where they confederated with other tribes. |
