For the past decade, informal seasonal research in the Salem area has revealed the remains of Native plant communities surviving in the settled lands. Camas and Wapato in particular but also Oak groves are much scattered around in the metro area and surviving in rare quantities. These remnant communities suggest that the original ecosystems are resilient and there are opportunities to recover some of the traditional systems. The presentation will present some images of the plant communities that still exist and nature of their survival, and address the needs of Kalapuya descendants as they seek to restore their culture, a culture which is dependent on the traditional landscapes of the Willamette Valley.
