Education Fund
The Oregon Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation funds local schools to enable them to participate in Lewis and Clark related activities in the area.One of the large project that we have just completed is the "Blue Lake" project. The picture at right is a carving of one of the two plankhouse posts at the Blue Lake Monument site honoring the village of Nicaqwli, where the guide lived who led Captain Clark back down to the Willamette River in April, 1806. Our chapter led the fundraising and the dedication event August 6, 2005, but the installation was not complete at that time. Since then, the project has been completed.
We have been given a grant of $2500 to do curriculum work for schools on this site and to explain its meaning.
