Native American Tribe Series.

---

Molala Indians.

A Waiilatpuan tribe forming the western division of that family. Little is known of their history. When first met with they resided in the Cascade range between Mts. Hood and Scott and on the west slope, in Washington and Oregon. The Cayuse have a tradition that the Molala formerly dwelt with them south of Columbia river and became separated and driven westward in their wars with hostile tribes. Their dialect, while related, is quite distinct from that of the Cayuse, and the separation probably took place in remote times. The name Molala is derived from that of a Creek in Willamette Valley, Oregon, south of Oregon City. A band of these Indians drove out the original inhabitants and occupied their land. Subsequently the name was extended to all the bands. The present status of the tribe is not certain. In 1849 it was estimated to number 100; in 1877 Gatschet found several families living on the Grande Ronde Reservation, Oregon, and in 1881 there were said to be about 20 individuals living in the mountains west of Klamath Lake. Those on the Grande Ronde Reservation are not officially enumerated, but are regarded as absorbed by the other tribes with whom they live. With regard to the rest nothing is known. It is probable, however, that there are a few scattered survivors. The Molala joined with other bands of Willamette valley in the treaty of Dayton, Oregon, Jan. 22, 1855, and by treaty at the same place, Dec. 21, 1855, they ceded their lands and agreed to remove to a reservation. Chakankni, Chimbuiha, and Mukanti are said to have been Molala bands or settlements.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide mondou2, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Oh the attraction of a souvenir to a geocacher!! Curse you geo marketing people for doing your job so well. Evidently this great adventure has been going on for weeks, but in true form PayMeCache waits until the 23rd hour to call me up and say “let’s do this”….so we did. We knew we wanted to crank it out, so the plan was to hit an area concentrated with easy finds, unfound by both of us. Well we all know about best laid plans….our first couple of hours had their struggles, but the good news is if we weren’t quickly finding geocaches, we were laughing until it hurt and enjoying the adventures the universe was throwing at us. We eventually got our groove on and cranked out 80 or so finds for the day. My one piece of advice when caching just south of the airport….stop to watch the planes fly over. It was an amazing experience and the best part for me was watching the HUGE plane shadows sailing over the fields and right over our heads. TFTC

The things we do for silly souvenirs...

I took a much needed day off to relax and recharge. I wanted to try and bag as many of these souvenirs (that I will forget by tomorrow). That being said heh324 joined forces and is chauffeuring us around. The heat is exhausting but we are getting through it one by one.

Found GC4QHXZ - Mondo's NAT #347 - Molala on July 20, 2018 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, mondou2 for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!
