- Title
The Restoration of an iłkák'mana: A Chief Called Multnomah.
- Authors
Fulton, Ann
- Abstract
This article reports on how the history of the Chief Multnomah was revived. The historical Multnomah, whose name had been memorialized all around the Portland, Oregon, area, was largely forgotten and was assumed to be a construct or myth by many Portland residents. Through oral histories, written records and outside corroborating facts, the historical Multnomah was proved to have existed and restored to a place of prominence as a Native leader in the lower Willamette River Valley. Oral tradition passed down through the Indian culture and then to pioneer children and Romantic naturalists.
