Sauvie Island
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The original inhabitants of Sauvie Island were the Multnomah Indians. Numbering approximately 800 in population when first recorded by Lewis and Clark in 1805, the Multnomah Indians enjoyed the island as a luscious hunting, fishing, and plant-gathering ground in the summer and fall. The island was referred to as Wapato Island in the Lewis and Clark journals because of the large beds of wild potatoes, or wappato as named by the native Multnomahs. Unfortunately, the Multnomah Indians were decimated by smallpox and malaria introduced with European exploration to the region. Today, the county in which Portland and much of Sauvie Island lie, together with the channel running along the western side of the island, are named for the Multnomah Indians.
