Friends and colleagues: We gain a fresh perspective when we hear about important historical events as related by indigenous people and their oral traditions. The winter spent by explorers Lewis and Clark on the Oregon coast as told by the native Clatsop people is the subject of A Clatsop Winter Story, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org).
The Clatsop of coastal Oregon, descendants of Coboway and Cusculah, welcomed traders from the tall ships and the explorers that came from the east, the Lewis and Clark expedition. They called them all “cloth men.” Clatsop oral histories go back many hundreds of years—even today they tell stories of the first encounters with the cloth men. And stories of Captains Lewis and Clark, the Shoshone woman, and the winter (1805-1806) they spent near the Oregon coast. This is one of their winter stories and the Clatsop still are here to tell them.
