Statement made by Col. George Hunter, Captain of the Watch, Pension Bureau, Washington.

Abstract

"The Palouse and Thomas Indians, who are under Wolf, number about 400. Some of them live at the mouth of the Tukanon; some at the mouth of the Alpowa river and some near where Wolf is, and some on Columbia near Priest Rapids. They raise horses; live in native temporary houses and are nomadic. They have no lands which they can call their own."
