For at least 6,000 years, Native Americans hunted for clams, crabs, sea urchins, and clams along the coast near Cape Perpetua. Cape Perpetua was part of the southern territory of the Alsea. In their language the cape was called Halqaik, which could mean something like "exposed place". Evidence of their life can still be found in the huge piles of discarded mussel shells lying on the shore near the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center.
