A distinctive rock that’s tied to an Indigenous creation story for Willamette Falls has gone missing. The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde are trying to find it because it’s marked with Meadowlark’s footprints — a series of hatch marks that commemorate the story of how Meadowlark and Coyote stretched a cedar rope across the river to create Willamette Falls.
