Historical NoteReturn to Top
An 1855 directive from the U.S. Federal government called for the establishment of the Siletz Indian Reservation in western Oregon. As a result of the Rogue River Wars and other Indian conflicts, the Federal Government placed several tribes on the reservation, including members from the Coos, Umpqua, Siuslaw, Rogue River, Tututni tribes, and the Athapascan, Yakima, Kusan, Takilman, Shastan, and Shahaptian linguistic families.
After the close of the Rogue River War, the Federal Government established the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation in 1856. Large numbers of the Rogue River Indians were placed there, but they were later removed to the nearby Siletz Indian Reservation because of a decrease in population. The function of the Siltez Reservation was, ostensibly, to transform the Indians into industrious and substantial farmers. The reservation originally encompassed over a million acres, but by 1892 its size had shrunk to 47,000 acres, and in 1908 the land was divided among the Indian descendants. The agency's headquarters were originally located at Siletz, near Kernville, but they were later moved to Salem. The agency was closed 1925, but the community remained. Among the superintendents was Edwin Chalcraft, who served during the early decades of the 20th century.
The Chemawa Indian School was located northwest of Salem, Oregon, in the area of Lake Labish. It opened in 1886 and was the successor of the Indian Manual Training School at Forest Grove. The Chemawa school emphasized vocational education and operated a large student farm. By the 1950s it was the largest such school in the northwestern U.S.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection consists primarily of two distinct groups of records: those of the Siletz agency in general, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and those of the Chemawa Indian School near Salem, dating mostly from the 1930s. Also included are a small number of records from the Grand Ronde agency.
A substantial part of the Siletz Agency records consists of correspondence between the agency and the U.S. Office of Indian Affiars in Washington, D.C., 1875-1899,with a gap between 1884 and 1889. Also among the Siletz records are checkbook stubs (1890-1917), Indian court cases (1873-1895), Indians' bank registers (1906-1928), census records of Siletz (1885-1929) and Grand Ronde (1885-1909) agencies, marriage and death records from the early 20th century, and financial records of the reservation. The Chemawa School records include correspondence files; surveys of former students, with information on the students' lives and work histories; supply records; Civil Works Administration records; and materials relating to a vote on the tribal constitution, 1936-1937.
Microfilmed records include: register of vital statistics (1910-1918); physician's semi-annual report (1914); fiscal year summary (1909-1915); Siletz Indian Reservation school vouchers (1908-1910) and inventory of all property; list of students at Chemawa School (1926-1935); Yaquina vocabulary; unpublished manuscript, "A visit to the tribes of the Siletz Agency," by James Owen Dorsey; reservation constitution and bylaws; tribal council minutes (1931-1954) and resolutions; business correspondence (1935-1955); budgets (1950-1955); congressional bills (1948-1955); Department of the Interior information service releases and conferences; and historical notes.
