Abstract
"When the several tribes, forming the Yakama Nation, in their treaty with the United States in 1855, selected this reservation for their future home, they well knew what they were about. Nowhere through all Eastern Washington and Oregon, can a location be found combining the advantages of this. Commencing at the head waters of the Ahtanum, the mountains sweep round in a half circle to the west and south, their sides clothed with an abundance of excellent timber, and giving rise to the Ahtanum, the Simcoe, the Topnish, and the Sattas rivers, besides numerous smaller streams, which breaking from the mountains unite with these in the main valley below."
