Some
scholars claim the name "Chemawa" refers to the part
of the river where there were deposits of gravel, providing a
place to cross. Others believe that the name means "happy
home."

Chemawa has provided not only an education, but a lifetime of
memories and friendships, bridging tribal distances and differences
and providing a unique experience to all that have attended our
