Handmade quilt square which depicts an oak grove and indigenous people as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. Description from accompanying pamphlet: BLOCK 6 STANDING OAKS by Wilma Kennedy. On the floor of the valley were many Stands of large, old oak trees. These groves served a 'places of encampment' for the Indians of the Tuality Plains. The tallest oaks survived, but the undergrowth was burned away by the Indians, probably to create grassy meadows where game would come to feed making hunting'easier. The area of Cedar Hills. Blvd. at Walker Road was the Indian village of Osceola, now only a name on old maps. (The peoples of this area have also been called Atfalati or Kalapuya of the Tualatin Valley.)
A very large, well endowed, mostly symmetrical oak tree in fill leaf with branches coming to the ground around the edge. Under the tree is a horizontal board fence. This tree was located on William Stoke’s land and was a distinct landmark for people coming to Forest Grove.
Picture looks to be taken from the northwest corner of 21st Avenue and College Way looking toward Pacific University. Snow is on the ground and in the trees. Marsh Hall can be seen in the background on the left. The sidewalk and walkways on campus appear to be concrete. There is a concrete curb and the street is covered in snow.
