Plans to create the first Camas Fest on the Linfield campus (May 6, 2022) began in November 2020 “when the university began investigating a new name for a two-block street on the McMinnville campus. The search led the university to the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde, and together, the groups chose Lakamas Lane, located a block north of Keck Drive. Lakamas is the word for camas in the Chinuk Wawa language. Plans soon developed to celebrate camas, which grows in large numbers on campus.” – 4/29/2022 McMinnville N-R/News-Register
