| Notes | Why were there so few Native Americans in Yaquina Bay when white settlers arrived? One possible answer is that many of them were murdered in 1832 by staff of the Hudson’s Bay Company. The attack was in retaliation for the killing by Alsea Indians of two Hudson’s Bay trappers. Many inhabitants of a large village near Oysterville were killed. “Diminished as a nation and displaced from their homelands, Yaquina survivors memorialized their losses in oral narrative that reveals the depth of impacts throughout the colonization process, and the injustice of colonial power relations.” (p.382) |
