Abstract

Since the salmon were not in season, the Wanapums caught only two suckers for their first foods feast, but treated them in a ceremonial manner, as was already told to the recipient, Robert J. Schoettler, director of the State Department of Fisheries. Now that the salmon are running, the Wanapums asked Relander to ask Schoettler if they can fish. Relander points out that the Yakima are fishing, and they only are asking to fish on the same days as the Yakimas.
