Outside the Longhouse Building
The opening of the Native American Longhouse at Lane Community College honors Oregon's nine federally recognized tribes, both inside the building and in the landscaping outside and around it. The outside environment of the Longhouse provides three important honoring features.
A Pathway of the Tribes wanders through a camas/tarweed meadow past a swale. It honors the progress and sovereignty of the tribes and symbolizes the unity among our peoples. The swale honors our connection with the natural world by allowing the rain which falls on the Longhouse's footprint to soak in and recharge soil moisture, thus preserving the integrity of at least this small piece of Earth. Planted around the building are almost 100 species of plants that were important historically to Oregon's and other Native peoples, and many of them continue to be important today.
Pathway of the Tribes
We envisioned a pathway near the Longhouse through a plantation of native plants to honor Oregon's nine tribes. We asked that each tribe select one or two plants to represent that tribe in the plantings around the Longhouse. A total of twelve plants were selected for us. These twelve species of plants are named here. 它们被种植了, however, 在长屋周围的不同地方, allowing interested persons the opportunity to appreciate the plantings by searching for them. One specimen of each of these species displays a label at its base that describes the species of plant and its uses. First, on each label appears the Native names. The Pathway of the Tribes meanders north from the salmon-cooking pit around the east end of the swale and then to the west, 在沼泽的西北侧结束. A small meadow planted densely with camas lilies and with tarweed bisects the swale a short distance from its beginning point. Both camas and tarweed were intensively cultivated by fire by the Willamette Valley's Kalapuya Indians. In order to keep out weeds and too much grass, this meadow is covered with landscaping cloth during the winter. 早春时节, the cover is removed to allow the camas bulbs to send up their lily-like leaves and blue flowers. 不久之后, the tarweed seeds will sprout and produce a beautiful green carpet before becoming dry and rangy by the fall.

The Swale
The swale looks like a pond in winter, and a garden in summer. Rainwater draining from the Longhouse flows a short distance north to a depression that receives and stores the water and allows it to soak into the soil, cleansing the water and revitalizing the soil moisture. The swale will hold standing water during the rainy months, then continue to drain into the surrounding soil during the dry months. It is planted in a natural and artistic way with native plants that are or were used by Oregon's Native peoples. Wetland plants most tolerant to standing water are in the bottom of the swale, and plants less tolerant are arranged around its sides. In this way we maintain a sustainable stewardship of this small piece of our land.
