Adding information on history of research, to explain why Takelma are so poorly-known. Plan to create Agnes Baker Pilgrim page, link to that, and transfer most information about her to that page.--66.241.89.131 16:05, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I split off the language. --coreyr 07:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Appreciation

I appreciate the continued efforts to add information to this article, as there is little known about one of the most turbulent time periods in Oregon history. The Rogue River Wars were a devastating reminder of how shifting Indian Policy in the West was unable to control the vast majority of ignorant settlers who decided to take the law into their own hands. While this statement is biased, it is certainly not without merit. To have knowledge is to gain a small semblance of wisdom. Perhaps then, our children can learn the truth of how this great nation was formed on the lands of its first inhabitants.
