Cathlapotle Plankhouse Photos

Here are a few photos from our trip to the Cathlapotle Plankhouse field trip last Tuesday. Thanks to Nicole for taking the photos!

Entering the plankhouse

Front of the Plankhouse: This plank house is a replica of a traditional Chinookan plankhouse. The Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge collaborated with local Chinook Indians to build the plank house and it is still used by tribe members for ceremonies and events today. 


Class Photo :)

The traditional way of entering the plankhouse as a visitor is backwards. This shows the people inside the plankhouse that you were entering in peace.
