History & geography

History

Cascadia Cave is a significant archaeological and cultural site located near the South Santiam River in the Cascade Mountains near Sweet Home, Oregon. Situated east of the Cascadia community and adjacent to Cascadia State Park, the cave is a shallow rock shelter with a pronounced overhang. It holds deep cultural importance for the Santiam Band of the Kalapuya and Molala peoples. The South Santiam River was traditionally used as a food source by the Kalapuyan tribe, specifically the Santiam people. The tribe also utilized indigenous plants such as camas, hazelnuts, hops, tarweed, and wild onion that grew in the area. The cave itself noted for its cultural and practical significance to the tribe as it is located along routes used for trade and travel. The nearby Soda Springs was used for medicinal purposes by the tribes and later was a popular spot for tourism due to the abundance of natural mineral water and springs in the area.
