The Yoncalla Indians were a small tribe of Oregon, relatives of the Kalapuya Indians and speakers of a Southern Kalapuyan dialect. Like many other West Coast Indian tribes, the Yoncalla people were relocated to the Siletz Reservation and Grand Ronde Reservation during the 1800's, where they were merged with other native peoples and their languages rapidly vanished. Most Yoncalla descendants still live at Grand Ronde and Siletz today. They are also known as the Yonkalla.
