What does clackamas mean in the Native language?

Which native language?

Do you mean Clackamas county in Oregon? If so, it was apparently the name of the Native Americans that inhabited the region.

If not, well… sorry! That’s all I could find googling.

The Clackamas Indians were a tribe of American Indians of the American state of Oregon. It is a county around Portland Oregon.

I live there.

edit :: D’oh, I’m in Multnomah County.

It probably means “the people” or something like that in whatever language the Clackamas indians spoke language or not. :)

This source says that “Clackamas” is a corruption of the name by which they called themselves, “Guithla’kimas”, but that the significance of the name is unknown.

Sorry, I misread the question.

wow, that is really cool. thanks.
