A small city west of Portland. Scappoose, named "gravelly plains" by the Chinook People and once covered by an ice-age ocean, served as prime hunting grounds. Chief Casino of the Kiersinno Tribe held stewardship over his people and their lands. The plains of wild grass fed herds of elk and deer, the rivers supplied spawning beds for salmon, and ancient forests covered the hills.
Scappoose was a meeting place. Chinook tribes held annual Pow-Wows, complete with feasts, trading, gaming and horse races. Descendants of the non-native settlers from Maine, Kansas, Nebraska, Czechoslovakia and Switzerland continue the Chinook legacy through festivals and celebrations today.
