Oregon’s only bicentennial chapter derives the name from the Indians who lived in the foothills of the Siskiyou Mountains above Stuart Creek, now known as Bear Creek, Little Butte Creek, and at the base of Snowy Butte, now called Mount McLoughlin. The Latgwa (Latgawa) Indians were a separate tribe closely allied with the Takelma and the Shasta. In the Takelma language the name Latgwa means ‘those living in the uplands’.
