Information About

Clackamas Indians




They were part of the Confederated Tribes Of The Grand Ronde of Oregon.

Like others of the Chinook band, they practiced Head Flattening . From infancy the head was compressed between boards, thus sloping the forehead backward.

By 1855, the 88 surviving members of the tribe were relocated to Grand Ronde, Oregon , first to a reservation, later they blended in the general population.

Of note, they are the technical owners of the Willamette Meteorite .
