| Notes | M.A. Thesis, Anthropology. While this thesis is not directly concerned with the Siletz River Estuary, the sad and often sordid history of the Oregon Coast Indian Reservation cannot be excluded from historical background for the area. The original reservation included Alsea and Yaquina Bays, but greed quickly changed the situation. Olympia oysters discovered at Yaquina Bay (p.104-107) and the desire for a good port quickly fueled the first partition. The Alsea River area followed (p.135-139), and the reservation continued to be whittled away until the tribe was terminated in 1954. The 1977 restoration and subsequent developments are another story. |
