Environment

A land of abundance

Not only is tumwata/Willamette Falls an important part of the Tribe’s culture and history, but it is also a unique Northwest environment home to native plants, animals and the second largest waterfall by volume in the United States. From native salmon and lamprey to natural basalt cliffs and the cascading waters of the Willamette River, this is a land of abundance.
