Whether physical, cultural, legal, or in scholarship, death has been part Western Oregon tribes' lives since contact with newcomers. Yet, Native people have survived. This shared tribal legacy, however, is still unknown to many people throughout the state, and according to Lewis, “such historical ignorance is another kind of death — one marked by both myth and silence.” He shares stories of his ancestors' death experiences through removal, assimilation, and termination. As tribal historian for the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Lewis works to ensure that Native voices are heard in order to “produce and interpret history that continue[s] to develop and will result in a better history for all Oregonians.”
