Things to Do in Eugene
Alton Baker Park: Visitors to the Whilamut Natural Area of the park can take a self-guided tour of the Talking Stones collection. The permanent collection consists of 15 basalt boulders carved with Yoncalla Kalapuya words, created to revive the Kalapuya language and honor Indigenous culture.
Downtown Riverfront Park: “Culture Raising” is a temporary public art project along a 100-foot fence in the park. The artwork brings awareness to the Native American people and history in our region with larger-than-life faces of Indigenous community members. Half of each elder’s face is matched with a youth or young adult face, representing the past, present and future of the cultures and emphasizing unity. The exhibit will remain on display until the next phase of riverfront development is completed.
