The nation of the Kalapuya, at the height of population prior to European American contact, was composed of several small groups or "bands" within the Willamette valley.
According to these sources, many of the Kalapuya believed that after death, a person's body went into the Earth, and their heart journeyed west over the ocean to the "land of the dead." Clothing and personal items were buried with the dead to aid them in their journey.
Kalapuya spirituality was a conscious mixture of the living and dead, of giving and receiving.

 The First People of Clackamas County, Oregon
KALAPUYAS occupied the inland valleys of western tributaries (such as the Tualatin River) to the Willamette and--above Willamette Falls--the eastern tributaries plus the shores of the Willamette River itself.
Before the 1950's, the last generation of Kalapuya speakers were gone and the population of Grand Ronde had adopted Chinook Jargon as a common language.
Today, descendants of the first people of Clackamas County are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, a community of five tribes (Kalapuya, Molalla, Umpqua, Chasta, and Rogue River) that preserves a common culture in a place far from their traditional lands.

Though the information available for the four sets of remains recovered from the Willamette valley is minimal, the preponderance of the evidence in one of the four cases suggests that the individual is culturally affiliated with the one of the Kalapuya divisions.
In the case of the other three sets of remains, it was impossible to determine whether the individuals are more likely to be culturally affiliated with the Kalapuya or the Clackamas division of lower Chinook.
Four sets of remains identified as Kalapuya or Clackamas, were repatriated to the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon on September 15, 1999.
