As a student in Don Addison's native experience and native anthropology class I am appalled that someone would state the Kalapuya Natives are extinct, unless they read and actually believed Harold Mackay's book, "the Kalapuyans", without checking any real facts. I can attest to many Kalapuyan Natives in the Eugene/Springfield, Yoncalla and Grand Ronde areas. I was also at the Kalapuya Naming Ceremony.I find it sad that someone would make an uneducated and illformed assumption without any complete research into their topic. Morgan Sky
