CLACKAMAS means...really...Heavenly Visitor" or "Visitor from the Moon

The Clackamas people called it Tomonowos, variously translated as "Heavenly Visitor" or "Visitor from the Moon".

Like cultures everywhere, the Clackamas likely attached a mythical--or spiritual--meaning to a stone fallen from Heaven.
