In the record
The United States made 2 treaties and agreements that name Kalapuya as a party, from Umpqua and Kalapuya at Calapooia Creek, Douglas County, Oregon Territory (1854) to Kalapuya and Others (Confederated Bands of the Willamette Valley) at Dayton, Oregon Territory (1855).
Today, Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
