The Atfalati foraged the Tualatin valley's fields for camas and wapato and hunted deer, elk and water fowl.

The purpose of this name is to recognize the Native American Peoples, the Atfalati (also called the Twallaty or Tualatin), who lived in the Tualatin Basin.
He apparently believed that he was being dealt with fairly by the white treaty negotiators, but had complaints about some of the white settlers whom he said were whipping his children.
Evidently the treaty was never ratified, as the remnants of the Atfalati were so few that they were eventually sent to the reservation in Grand Ronde along with bands from other parts of Western Oregon.

 Kalapuyan
Following treaties in 1851 and 1855 the remnants of all the Kalapuyan tribes moved to the Grand Ronde Reservation, Oregon, where their descendants are now organized as the 'Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon', although the reservation lost its recognition by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1956.
The census of 1910 reported 44 Atfalati, five Calapooya, eight Luckiamute, 24 Chepenafa, nine Santiam, five Yamel and 11 Yoncalla; in 1930 the whole group was reported at 45 persons.
At least 24 different tribes were included in the Siletz-Grand Ronde complex, making it almost impossible for any one small group to preserve its identity.

The river begins in prehistory, meandering down a waterfall, past animal footprints, around a boulder representing a fallen meteor, and beyond an “archeological dig” with “fossils” to be uncovered and a large mastodon rib cage to be explored.
The river then leads to the Native American area—inspired by the Atfalati Indians who once inhabited the region—where children can beat native drums or ride in a canoe.
The river’s journey ends in the early-European settlement area, which includes a ferry, a synthetic log jam, a wagon train, a chicken coop, farmhouses, and a sculpted cow under a shade structure.

 Kalapuya Information
There is no record of the number of fatalities from these illnesses, but it is sufficient to say that the Kalapuya were greatly weakened by the time whites began to show up in numbers in the Willamette valley in the middle of the nineteenth century.
In the treaty at Dayton, Oregon, (January 22, 1855), the Calapooya and other tribes of the Willamette valley ceded the entire drainage area of the Willamette river, and the tribes were moved to the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation.
The known tribes of the Kalapooian family include: Ahantchuyuk, Atfalati or Tualatin, Calapooya, Chelamela, Chepenafa, Lakmiut, Santiam, Yamel, and Yonkalla.

The Tualatin River flows languidly through a mosaic of agricultural and urban land for 78 miles from the coast range to the Willamette River.
Winding its way through dozens of bends and twists, the river earned its name, which means "lazy river," from the Atfalati people who lived in the Tualatin Basin before European settlement.
The low gradient and water speed make it ideal for canoes and kayaks, but with little public access along the 30-mile stretch from Forest Grove to West Linn, few have been able to experience its lush beauty.
