Nine native language words for ‘People’ appear in this section. A rounded Village Overlook is oriented toward the site of a polyglot village of Europeans, French Canadians, Native peoples, Americans and Hawaiians. The village’s as-yet unexcavated archaeological site will eventually be developed as an exhibition by the National Park Service.

The terrace overlook is recessed into a large earthen mound at the base of the bridge. At this northern upland side of the bridge, the pathway curves around and down the mound planted as prairie grasslands. White oak planted with shrubs such as chokecherry, ocean spray and snowberry give a sense of the grassland (also known as oak savannah) that originally grew here. On this end of the bridge, rainwater channeled from the bridge empties into a cistern, and is then pumped out to irrigate the plantings.

At ground level, the path concludes where a historical wagon road ran through the site. Fort Vancouver is a couple of minutes walk away.
