Abstract

"Affiant further deposes and says that prior to the time that the number of fish that were in the river were made so small on account of the activities of the white man in constructing dams and catching very large quantities of same, there were many places utilized by the various Indian tribes marking up the Yakima nation for permanent village sites as well as temporary fishing camps; that it was customary for the Yakima Indians to travel around within the country with which they were familiar for the purpose of obtaining supplies of fish as well as supplies of roots, berries, venison and other wild animal meat; that nowadays there are only a few places of that nature that are used by the Indians due to the fact that almost all of the old places have been destroyed and are no longer of any practical value to the Indians."
