of the Elofson Family, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal members
Public Facility Being Requested for Naming/Renaming: West -End Park
Purpose and Background for Renaming:
History: Downtown Port Angeles was once a thriving Klallam village known as 6xwican (Tse-whit-
zen). The Territorial government and settlers forced Klallam people out of present day Port Angeles
into homelessness and poverty. Klallam people identified themselves according to their family
relationships and the villages where they lived. Thus, by losing their family members to disease and
their villages to colonization, Klallam people lost their identity. Today, only a small fraction of Klallam
people call the city of Port Angeles their home. The Klallam people have a spiritual, cultural, and
economic connection to Port Angeles that spans thousands of years (or more), and they have marked
the city with many named places. These place names embody stories that connect people, animals, the
supernatural, villages, mountains, bodies of water, and entire territories.
Rationale: West -End Park - the interim name for the new park in downtown along the shoreline west
of Oak Street - is not an accurate or descriptive name for this Port Angeles city park since there are
parks in Port Angeles that are further west, such as Lincoln Park, Shane Park, and Crown Park, all
located on the "westside" of Port Angeles. Also, the name "West -End" is typically used for areas that
are west of Lake Crescent. For example, a search of "west -end olympic peninsula" in Google cites
attractions in Forks and Clallam Bay as being on the West -End. Port Angeles is generally is not
considered part of the West -End of the Olympic Peninsula. In fact, you could make an argument that
Pebble Beach Park could be named North -End Park if you wanted to use cardinal directions.
Therefore, the current interim name is not accurate geographically in the city of Port Angeles, on the
greater Olympic Peninsula, or in the Salish Sea.
Gillian Elofson and Jessica Elofson of the Elofson family personally visited Pebble Beach Park and
chose a Klallam name based on a connection to place and the surrounding environment. Port Angeles
harbor used to be a large sandy beach, perfect for entry and exit in a canoe. Aside from Hollywood
Beach, sandy beaches no longer exist on the Port Angeles waterfront and west of Port Angeles until you
reach the Elwha River delta adjacent to the Lower Elwha Klallam Reservation. Thanks to the Elwha
River Restoration, sand is again an abundant feature of the landscape around Angeles Point, but not in
Port Angeles. A steep -sloped pebble beach in Pebble Beach Park is an engineered landscape feature
that is unique in our environment. Pebble Beach Park is a great descriptive name that helps to connect
the Lower Elwha Klallam people to the City of Port Angeles.
In the Mal lam language, ),0a? suAnt means small rock. This describes the beaches at the park as a
unique place name. As with the longhousc at Peninsula College, ?a?k-ustogdwtx v, it is likely that the
English name will get used for Pebble Beach Park, and thus the park's name should be signed first in
Page 1
Addendum to Parks & Recreation Department X:WCa? sDdnt
Klallam and secondly in English:
X,u;,a? sivant
Pebble Beach Park
The City of Port Angeles is using the Klallam language in street signs adjacent to Pebble Beach Park
and has included Klallam history in the timeline monument markers at the park. There are other signs
of Klallam history in Port Angeles such as in murals at the Gateway Transit Center and Port Angeles
City Pier. The Lower Elwha Klallam Heritage Center, Carnegie Museum, and Peninsula College
Longhouse are all relatively new Poll Angeles places that lie]p to educate the people of Port Angeles
about the Lower Elwha Klallain culture and history. Also, the new Lower Elwlia Klallam waterfront
multi -story hotel adjacent to the Gateway Transit Center will allow the Lower Fl wha Klallam Tribe
investment into diversified economic structures that will ideally encourage more Klallam people to live
in Port Angeles. Naming Pebble Beach Park with a Klallam name helps to recognize Klallam peoples'
history in this place.

Dear Elwha council members,
On behalf of the Elofson Family, my daughter Gillian and I, Jessica Elofson, are asking for your
support and to consider writing a letter of support for renaming the new park in downtown Port
Angeles along the shoreline west of Oak Street to a name chosen by myself and my daughter Gillian
Elofson: MW sgant (Pebble Beach Park) the exact meaning of the Klallam words are small rocks.
Please let us know if the Council would be interested in writing a letter of support and if indeed this is
the case, we would like the letter by January 21. Ideally if you can send the letter to all of us by email,
we can then make sure that the application includes all the letters of support.
Thank you for your consideration,

"y Dear Carolyn, Gillian, and Jessica:
-kk I want to thank each of you for your interest and commitment to pursuing the naming of the second
phase of the Ctiy's Waterfront Redevelopment Project currently referenced as West End Park. This
park is important to the community and is an amenity that was the culmination of substantial public
i°M MA
r�.
While it would be inappropriate for me to weigh in on the decision making isrocess at this time, I do
feel it is important to share some of the history regarding the design and development of the park
and the long term intent of the City during that process. During the time of development I managed
omic
the design and implementation of the project on behalf of the City's Community and Econ
Development Department. Below is some relative history that I hope can inform the naming process,
In 1997 Lindberg and Smith Architects developed a concept for redevelopment of the Port Angeles
Downtown Waterfront known as the Waterfront Promenade. The concept was very popular and
spoken highly of throughout the community. Unfortunately it was never implemented. In 2009 this
same concept was passed along to the visiting American Institute of Architects Sustainable Design
Assessment Team who identified the project as an important strategic approach for revitalization of
Downtown. From 2011 to 2012 tine City's Port Angeles Forward Committee compiled priority
Projects to be moved Forward and their- efforts culminated in the Waterfront Transportation
Improvement Plan (WTIP). The WTIP consisted of 10 different capital projects to be implemented
through one design team effort for ease of management with the waterfront being the focal point.
The process began with an intense public involvement opportunity where design team members
rented out a Downtown office space for a week so that members of the public could watch the
ongoing design in process. Each evening a public meeting was held to gain additional input on the
projects. One of the evening events invited local artists in the c011"runity and was entitled the "Art
Slam." It included numerous local artists including Tribal artists. At this event a theme for the
Project was developed and the concept was called "Points of Light." Lights at both ends of the
waterfront including the Valley Creek Estuary lookout and the City Pier Tower. Conceptual plans
were developed breaking the project into eleven (11) grant fundable sections. Following phase 1
known as the Esplanade, design of the new park began. The Lower Elwha Klaiiam Tribe (LE ha

Dear Director Delikat and Commissioners,
Please accept this letter of support from Carolyn Wilcox (owner and member) of Experience
Olympic LLC for the application from Gillian and Jessica Elofson to rename "West End" park to
Xu'Xa? qdnt (Pebble Beach Park.). I have been assisting in the collection of letters of support and
would like to take a moment to share with Commissioners how to pronounce the name as well as
some of the comments from community members that express some of my shared thoughts and
ideas about why I wanted to assist the 1?lo fson Family and by connection the Lower Elwha
Klallam people with supporting a Klallam place name for a city park in Port Angeles.
You can click on the audio files of U(a? and sudnt on the Montler website in order to learn to
pronounce the words. I think an interactive audio kiosk (such as those that can be found at the
former Glines Canyon Dam spillway in Olympic National Park) or URL directions to the
Montler website should be included in the park. TIM is how I learned to say XUa? sUAnt:

Below are some of the amazing statements from the letters of support I have helped to collect
The shared values for the Arts, Science & Culture campus, the Port Angeles Waterfront Center,
and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe include inclusiveness and resilience. Officially naming the
Park, X:fJXa? sildnt will live these shared values by honoring the diversity of peoples that call the
Olympic Peninsula home and will demonstrate our commitment to helping carry on native
cultures and languages.
When Dodwell and Rixon surveyed the Olympic Mountains [circa 1899] they observed "all the
surveyed townships have numerous trails.., mostly grown up and hard to find." These vestiges
reflect a once vast S'Klallam civilization. Theis bestowing the Klallam appellation W;a? so"int is
a kind gesture and will bring gladness to travelers arriving at our shores.

proposed site of our project to X�6Aa? sgAnt, a Klallam name that translates to Pebble Beach Park.
As you may be aware, the park was originally designers to incorporate nine elements of Klallam culture and
history including use of the Klallam language in nearby street signs, historical markers that include some Klallam
history, a gathering circle, canoe landing beaches, and use of native plants in the landscaping. From the outset,
the park was always meant to have a Kiallam place name. It is our understanding that if approved, iluA�a? srJant
would be the first park in Port Angeles to be so designated.
The Port Angeles Waterfront Center believes it is important that the Klallam language be preserved and
celebrated, particularly in context to the water and beaches that have been so important to traditional Klallam
culture. In the Klallam language, AUa? means small and mint means rock. We believe these words describe
well the nature of both beaches at the park.
Gillian and Jessica Elofson, of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, personally visited Pebble Beach Park and chose a
Klallam name based on a connection to place and the surrounding environment. The Elofson's received
support for the naming by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council as well as other non -tribal organizations
located in the neighborhood.
I thank you in advance for your favorable consideration of the Elofson's application to adopt the Klallam place
name, kWu a? snAnt (Pebble Beach Park) for this important downtown location.

Dear Director Delikat and Commissioners,
Please accept this letter of support from Feiro Marine Life Center for the application from members of
the Elofson family to nanlie the newest downtown park, curreiatly referred to as West Find Park, as
X10 a? siiant (Pebble Beach Park).
The design of the park .incorporates Klallam language into street signs. Additionally, historical displays
in the park trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events in Port Angeles. Lastly, the pebble
beaches are marked as canoe landings .in both Klallam and English. Therefore, a Klallam name for the
park continues to help integrate Klallam culture and history into downtown Port Angeles.
Along with our site partners on the Arts, Science & Culture campus, the Port Angeles Waterfront center
and the Lower Elwha Klallam '.l'ribe, we developed a shared goal and set of values for the campus,
which resides alongside the currently named West End Park. The values include inclusiveness and
resilience. O:fticially naming the park )CN,.a? si]ant will live these shared values by honoring the
diversity of the peoples that call the Olympic Peninsula home, and demonstrating our commitment to
helping carry on native cultures and languages. It is our understanding that the Elofsons received
support for the naming by the Lower Filwha Klallam Tribal Council by consensus, and Ave are proud to
support this effort to designate the park in a language that is experiencing a renewed vibrancy in our
region.

On behalf of the board for the North Olympic Healthcare Network, I write to you today in
support of the name YfiXa? sl)dnt (Pebble Beach Park) for the City Park across the street from
our downtown clinic on First Street.
Our board has come to this position for a number of reasons, including:
Our deepest respect for the culture of our community, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe,
and their language,
Our appreciation of past City efforts to incorporate the Klallam language into its
downtown street signs and the walkways of the park, and
A belief that community health is closely tied to community members being able to easily
get outside, recreate and become refreshed by places like this waterfront park.
Therefore, as we understand that the effort to rename this park has been supported by our
valued partners on the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council, we would like to share out strong
support of this effort.
Thank you for this opportunity to build upon a tradition of honoring our community's culture
and heritage by considering this Klallam name for this park.

January 15, 2019
Dear Review Committee,
Please accept this letter of -support for the naminq) rcnaming of West -End Park to
)N(a? sUdnt (Pebble Beach Park). I support this cf)iOrt and please know that the
renaming effort also has the full support of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's
Council and Chairwoman Frances Charles. Although I hold the position of Mayor
of Port Angeles, I write to you as a private citizen supporting this effort.
Because Port Angeles sits on ancestral Tribal lands, it makes perfect sense to
support this request from the. Tribe. Not only to the support the Tribe, but for our
econorlic bcrlctit as well. We are fairly unique in our relationship with our local
Tribe and one that has benefitted us and will continue to do so, if we treat it
resPectfully. Our signs in both Klallam and English for some of our street signs,
benches, and parks baster this relationship and honors our combined histories.
While all our other beaches are sandy, this man-made engineered beach is not and
it seems quite appropriate to follow native tradition to name a place based on its
description. We all knew that the interim name rel' %�,est-I"nd Park would need to
be replaced and now that a suggestion has been made, I believe that this
alternative fits well and is appropriate for this park.
Renamint, V"est-cnd Park to Pebble Beach Park with a Klallam name helps to
recognize Mid honor the Klallam history and the Klallam people that today call
this place: their home.

Re: Xiila? sgint (Pebble Beach Park)
To the Parks, Recreation & Beautification Commission:
I write, individually and not on behalf of the entire City Council, in support of the name Wii a? sgant
(Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown waterfront west of Oak Street.
I had the opportunity to briefly study the Klallam language beginning in 2005. In those classes, I
teamed from Klallam elders Bea Charles and Adeline Smith that language is at the root of culture - our
language is wlzo we are. As the language of this place that we live, Klallam developed here and is
uniquely situated to this place. We learn about the place we live when we learn a little Klallam
language.
The Klallam language was almost lost. Elders like Bea and Adeline have passed away. It is important
that we preserve this language as a unique aspect of the place where we live, and use the opportunities
we have — like place names — to educate about it.
The City already incorporates. Klallam language in the street signs adjacent to Wi a? stent (Pebble
Beach Park). historical displays in the park also trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events
in Port Angeles. The pebble beaches are marked as canoe landings in both Klallam and English.
Therefore, a name for the park in both Klallam and English follows this existing theme.
January 24, 2019
Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department and
Port Angeles Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission:
I enthusiastically support the proposal by Gillian and Jessica Elofson to rename West
End Park to 1 da? sgant (Pebble Beach mark).
I watched with delight when work on this beautiful park began in June 2014. 1 was very
familiar with the site. i am the retired publisher and editor of the Peninsula Daily News,
and I worked across the street from it for almost 18 years. I walked countless limes to
The Landing mail and City Pier on its stretch of the Waterfront Trail, and during
summers my wife, Ann, and I had picnic lunches at the top of the viewing tower. A
memorial bench honoring Ann is in the park today.
I have been impressed at how the park and the area around it reflect and cherish our
community's Klallam heritage in a variety of ways, from Klallam language street signs to
the timeline monument markers to the canoe -landing beaches. They embroider
significant meaning to the park, add character and interdependence and are lyrical
reminders of Port Angeles' origins. I'm impressed that the Klallam name picked for the
park also respects traditional links to landscape and values.
This park connects Port Angeles Harbor with our historic downtown. A name change to
Ada? sgcAnt -- with appropriate signage -- will connect cultures and people, too.
It would be the final and appropriate step to make this inspirational park inclusive of the
richness and diversity of our community and the history we all share.

I am writing to support the public name change application submitted by Jessica and Gillian
Elofson to call the new beach,just East of the Valley Creek Estuary the Klallam name �6W
sUdnt (Pebble Beach Park).
I am an 8"' grade teacher at Stevens Middle School, where I work closely with Jessica and nearly
100 local public school students annually. This past fall, Jessica helped me bring all of my
students to Valley and Peabody Creeks to conduct surveys for Streamkeepers of Clallam County
and to the Elwha River to conduct ongoing ecological monitoring. Jessica was an essential and
invaluable part of these experiences as she shared local Native American place -based stories and
traditional knowledge with students. In the classroom formally during a cultural and geological
history unit and informally on a weekly basis, Jessica helps students learn the shared history that
Native and non -Native Americans have in Port Angeles. This gives me absolute trust in Jessica
and her family's initiative to provide the Klallam name X:6Xa? sq nt (Pebble Beach Park) for the
new beach between Valley and Peabody Creek mouths.
Thank you for supporting this opportunity for expanding the cultural knowledge of our
community through adopting the Klallam place name, X,ux,a? gdnt (Pebble Beach Park). I am
very happy to discuss this initiative and my support for it any time.

I am writing to enthusiastically support renaming "West -End Park" to AfAOsg'in or "Pebble
Beach Park."
Port Angeles was once a Klallam village known as 61v can (Tse-whit-zen). Despite centuries of
colonization, the Klallam people continue to maintain a profound economic, cultural, and
spiritual connection to this city. Therefore, as a resident of Port Angeles, I feel honored that
Lower Elwha tribal members Gillian Elofson and Jessica Elofson personally visited this park and
chose the Klallam name of Alice?sydn or "Pebble Beach Park" to not only describe the
physical landscape of each small rock, or XUa?'on the beach, but to invest their energy to infuse
this park with a name of its indigenous stewards.
Moreover, the Elofson family has taken the generous step to reshape a space where the entire
community can celebrate Klallam heritage and our collective connections as citizens of Port
Angeles. As a sociologist I find the recent work of sociologist Eric Klienenberg especially
relevant in this case. He argues that many of our society's most serious struggles can be
addressed by creating open civic places because they foster what he calls "social infrastructure."
According to Klienenberg "social infrastructure" is rooted in human connection, and it is a place
like Al Ah?sydn or "Pebble Beach Park," that can help to forge such necessary community
relationships to reaffirm civic life in Port Angeles. Furthermore, with the renaming of this park,
such essential community connection can be grounded in honoring the Klallam people, language,
and culture, and hopefully, promote similar respect throughout our community.
Therefore, I strongly encourage you to rename "West End Park" to Mm?sycin or "Pebble Beach
Park."

I am writing to support the Klallam name Md a? srlant (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the
downtown waterfront west of Oak Street. This name chosen by an Elwha tribal family is very
descriptive of the beach! And the beach (before it was changed to pebbles) was a long recognized
sandy beach landing site for canoes.
My grandmother lived near Neah Bay in the early 1900's and told stories of canoeing to several
beaches along the now Port Angeles waterfront. I think the history of this beach area and the
importance of recognizing the earlier inhabitants of this area and their language supports the naming
proposed by Elofson family members and approved by the Lower Elwha Tribal Council. I further urge
you to add Klallam language names to any sign that are replaced in our City Parks.
Please follow through on their proposal and name the beach Kd a? sunt (Pebble Beach Park),

My name is Paul Kelly. I've been an active PA community member since 2012 and have worked in the
field of education, contributing to our community in any way I can. I run weekly salsa dances at the Port
Angeles Sons of Norway Hall, volunteer for the Clallam County Search and Rescue team, and work for a
non-profit called the College Success Foundation here at the high school. I am writing in support of
naming the new waterfront park on Oak Street "Aura? sgant" (Pebble Beach Park).
The working name "West -End Park" is not terribly inspiring or unique. I'm not sure what other names are
in the running, but a Klallam place name is a great choice. I think that a seemingly small nod from the
city can have a great impact on the local people and culture. The street names already have Klallam
translations on them in that area and there are stone markers in the park chronicling the local history,
including the Klallam people's presence. A Klallam place name fits that place (as "Pebble Beach Park"
does) is a logical choice.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate all the work that you do in order to keep Port
Angeles a beautiful and accessible place for its residents.

The Klallam Tribes are an essential part of Port Angeles' history and naming this park using

name offers a cultural and historical linkage for this beautiful waterfront park. The design of the

This letter is in support of re- naming "west end beach" to XONa? sgdnt "pebble beach". Klallam
people have been here many thousand years. It is only fitting to name the places of the first
people in this beautiful remote city we call Port Angeles.
This community has many gifts and grand vistas. It is with honor to name natural land forms
with the Klallam words of this place I like to call home. I am grateful the Klallams saved the first
language and are willing to share the words with the city of Port Angeles. Thank you Jessica
Elofson for suggesting this name of NOVA? sgdnt "pebble beach".

Please assign the Klallam name KUKai s8ant (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown
waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center. It is
important to remember this land was and still should be thought of as Klallam territory. It shows
respect to the people who lived here for many generations before people of European descent moved
here.
The design of the park already incorporates Klallam language into street signs. Additionally, historical
displays in the park trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events in Port Angeles. Lastly, the
pebble beaches are marked as canoe landings in both Klallam and English. Therefore, a Klallam name
for the park better integrates Klallam culture and history into downtown Port Angeles.
The Klallam language was almost lost. It is important that we preserve the Klallam language as a
unique aspect of the place where we live, and use opportunities we have, such as place names, to
educate about it.
In the Klallam language, XUX47 sg6nt means small rock. This describes the beaches at the park as a

I had the pleasure of being born and raised in Port Angeles and greatly enjoy the mix of cultures we
find in this small town. I think one of the most important aspects of living in a place with both
immigrant (white, Hispanic, black etc) populations and native populations is that when the dominant
culture recognizes and values the contributions of the native culture to our current society both groups
benefit from this interaction. Of course, naming locations by their Klallam names is only symbolic of
this collaboration, but this symbol can begin to create a culture of acceptance that through many
generations can lead to the changes that are really meaningful.
To this end, I am writing to support the Klallam name XUa? soAnt (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on
the downtown waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles
Waterfront Center.

I would like to add my name to those supporting the use of a Klallam language name for the park.
I was my privilege to serve as the K-12 tutor for the tribe for a couple years when we lived in Port
Angeles (until a health problem forced me to stop), so I can say with first-hand knowledge that their
devotion to the well-being of the land is as strong as ever, and that their reverence of the elders and
their language is shown with a quiet dignity and thoroughness we could all learn from. I certainly did.
Giving the park a Klallam name would be a quiet, no -expense way to honor the tribe and its deep
attachment and long history to the very land the park is on. It would be a small, but significant way to
elevate and dignify the tribe's history and traditions, and even a way to assuage old wounds.
I urge you to seriously consider this opportunity to honor the tribe and its heritage.
Thank you.

I am writing this letter in support of using the Klallam name KUW sgant (Pebble Beach Park) for the
park on the downtown waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles
Waterfront Center.
Having grown up on the Olympic Peninsula, and now living in Oregon, I recognize the important role
names play in evoking a sense of place. Place names not only reflect local history and culture, but help
to define what is unique about a local community and landscape. By using traditional Kallam names for
places in Port Angeles, we preserve and honor the Klallam language as a unique aspect of the place we
call home. It is troubling to think that this language was nearly lost, and this is a way we can help
ensure that doesn't happen.
This naming also seems an appropriate choice, considering the design of the park already incorporates
Klallam language in the signage, and historical displays highlighting Klallam history. I understand this
name was chosen by Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal members, Gillian and Jessica Elofson, and has the
support of the Lower Elwha Tribal Council. By adopting the name they have chosen for this park, an
important step will be made towards inclusive community.
Thank you for taking the time to review and consider my letter of support.
Sincerely,
Lara Colley

We write to support the Klallam name K6Xa? sgant (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown
waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center.
The design of the park already incorporates Klallam language into street signs. Additionally, historical
displays in the park trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events in Port Angeles. Lastly, the
pebble beaches are marked as canoe landings in both Klallam and English. Therefore, a Klallam name
for the park better integrates Klallam culture and history into downtown Port Angeles.
The Klallam language was almost lost. It is important that we preserve the Klallam language as a
unique aspect of the place where we live, and use opportunities we have, such as place names, to
educate about it.
In the Klallam language, XUXa? sgant means small rock. This describes the beaches at the park as a
unique place name.
Gillian and Jessica Elofson, of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, personally visited Pebble Beach Park
and chose a Klallam name based on a connection to place and the surrounding environment. The
Elofson's received support for the naming by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council by consensus.
Thank you for supporting this opportunity for expanding the cultural knowledge of our community
through adopting the Klallam place name, K6Xa? sgant (Pebble Beach Park). We appreciate having the
opportunity to voice our support for community relationship building with the Lower Elwha Klallam
people.

As an avid user of the park, I love the proposed Klallam name Wkb? so6nt (Pebble Beach
Park). It offers a nice physical description of the beaches, as well as a reminder of the native
land we stand on. Since the park already incorporates some Klallam history and language, it
seems like an obvious choice that the name should as well. I am further compelled by the fact
that the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council supports the name by consensus.

I am writing to support naming the park on the downtown waterfront west of Oak Street (adjacent to
the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center) the Klallam name XuKa? srlant (Pebble Beach
Park). The design of the park already incorporates Klallam language into street signs. Historical
displays in the park trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events in Port Angeles. And, the
pebble beaches are marked as canoe landings in both Klallam and English. A Klallam name for the park
better integrates Klallam culture and history into downtown Port Angeles and honors the history of this
area.
I would like to see both the Klallam name and the English translation included in the sign. Obviously
the general populace would have a hard time remembering the name, since it isn't in a common
language here. So I believe a sign should also include the translation of `Pebble Beach Park'...listed
Underneath the Klallam name.
Two Elwha Klallam tribal members, Gillian and Jessica Elofson, chose this name, based on a
connection to place and the surrounding environment. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council by
consensus supports this name.
Thank you for your consideration of this name and for the opportunity to express my support for this
supporting this opportunity to support community relationship building with the Lower Elwha Klallam
people, who were here long before us.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am in favor of renaming the West End Beach to Kula? gdnt (Pebble Beach Park). We name our city
parks after famous pioneers and politicians who are over -exposed already. We need to acknowledge
and honor the Lower Elwha KLallam people who first inhabited the Port Angeles area. For too long
we have ignored the fact that they have a long history in this area and still retain a culture worth
recognition.
Thank you for considering my opinion.

Dear Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department,
I am mesmerized by Oceania & Hawaii for these lands retain abundance place -
based knowledge. And thus, I was delighted by City of Port Angeles for honoring the
ancients at Oak street re ca/ntc sut. How lovely it will be to greet travelers at Pebble
Beach by an indigenous X, X'a2 sgdnt appellation.
When Dodwell & Rixon surveyed the Olympic Mountains [circa 1899] they
observed "all of the surveyed townships have numerous trails... mostly grown up and
hard to find." These vestiges reflect a once vast S'Klallam civilization. Thus bestowing
the S'Klallam appellation a Pebble Beach is a kind gesture and will bring gladness to
travelers arriving at our shores.
Thank you for your kind vision,

Please add my name to those supporting naming the new beach park with a Klallam name - However,
my preference would be to include the phonetic spelling, as well - The name "Pebble Beach" may be an
accurate translation - but (as I've noted with other signs giving both English and Klallam) the Native
American spelling seems not as prominent as the English - I would like to see phonetic sounding name
as well - not just the characters - and to put those first on the signage, not second - so they are the first
to be seen. Hope I'm not being too picky - but I've noted on the "Canoe Landing Beach" on that part
of the Waterfront Trail, the Klallam characters seem subordinate....

As a Clallam County resident and frequent visitor to Port Angeles, I want to lend my support to the
name, Pebble Beach Park per the recommendation of the Elwha people. I have spent a lot of time at
the waterfront with my grandkids and always like to think about the people who lived there many years
ago and this name will keep that image alive. I have always disliked "West End Park" because we in
the West End of Clallam County feel that the term West End belongs to us! !!

We write to support the Klallam name Kfi a? sgant (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown
waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center.
The park was designed to incorporates nine elements of Klallam culture and history including use of
the Klallam language in nearby street signs, historical markers that include some Klallam history, a
gathering circle, canoe landing beaches, and use of native plants in the landscaping. The park was
always meant to have a Klallam name, not just named after someone Klallam but rather a Klallam
place name. Currently, there are no parks in Port Angeles with a Klallam place name.
The Klallam language was almost lost. It is important that we preserve the Klallam language as a
unique aspect of the place where we live, and use opportunities we have, such as place names, to
educate about it.

I write to support the Klallam name )COX a? sUAnt (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown
waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center.
The design of the park already incorporates Klallam language into street signs. Additionally, historical
displays in the park trace some of the history of Klallam and settler events in Port Angeles. Lastly, the
pebble beaches are marked as canoe landings in both Klallam and English. Therefore, a Klallam name
for the park better integrates Klallam culture and history into downtown Port Angeles.
The Klallam language was almost lost. It is important that we preserve the Klallam language as a
unique aspect of the place where we live, and use opportunities we have, such as place names, to
educate about it.
In addition to educating us as residents, I think that using Klallam names for special places around our
city and county will be of interest to travelers and tourists and perhaps attract more to our community.
In the Klallam language, XbXa? sUAnt means small rock. This describes the beaches at the park as a
unique place name. The word "beach" itself does not exist in Klallam.
Gillian and Jessica Elofson, of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, personally visited Pebble Beach Park
and chose a Klallam name based on a connection to place and the surrounding environment. The
Elofsons received support for the naming by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council by consensus.
Thank you for supporting this opportunity for expanding the cultural knowledge of our community
through adopting the Klallam place name, xuxa? si]dnt (Pebble Beach Park). I appreciate having the
opportunity to voice my support for community relationship building with the Lower Elwha Klallam
people.
Sincerely,

I agree with Carolyn Wilcox's eloquently stated rationale for naming in the native language. Linda Mellon

Subject: Tribal name for West End Park
Hi Corey—
On behalf of the Peninsula Trails Coalition, I'm honored to add our name to those endorsing the proposal of the
Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe to formally name West End Park as Pebble Beach Park. Given that the Olympic Discovery Trail
travels through the park in downtown PA, and given our longstanding partnership with the Klallam people in pursuing
the vision of the ODT, it will be wonderfully fitting to reflect that relationship by adopting this name. We look forward to
this eminently appropriate action being taken and to the celebration that will follow!
Yours truly,
Jeff Bohman, Board President

To the Port Angeles Parks and Recreation Department,
I write to support the Klallam name X:AXa? sUdnt (Pebble Beach Park) for the park on the downtown
waterfront west of Oak Street, adjacent to the proposed site of the Port Angeles Waterfront Center.
The park was designed to incorporates nine elements of Klallam culture and history including use of
the Klallam language in nearby street signs, historical markers that include some Klallam history, a
gathering circle, canoe landing beaches, and use of native plants in the landscaping. The park was
always meant to have a Klallam name, not just named after someone Klallam but rather a Klallam
place name. Currently, there are no parks in Port Angeles with a Klallam place name.
The Klallam language was almost lost. It is important that we preserve the Klallam language as a
unique aspect of the place where we live, and use opportunities we have, such as place names, to
educate about it.
In the Klallam language, X:fiXa? means small and sDant means rock. This describes both beaches at the
park as a unique place name.
Gillian and Jessica Elofson, of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, personally visited Pebble Beach Park
and chose a Klallam name based on a connection to place and the surrounding environment. The
Elofson's received support for the naming by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribal Council by consensus.
Thank you for supporting this opportunity for expanding the cultural knowledge of our community
through adopting the Klallam place name, X:U:a? srlant (Pebble Beach Park).
Sincerely,
