Abstract
"Chute pointed out old Yakima riverbed on way out from Moxee. Came to wide flat near schoolhouse. Stopped and examined unmistakable signs of old village...undoubtedly large one. House foundations, circular and oblong, in lines...also longhouse close to 100 feet long (needs measuring and checking) old timers in the region say well drilling made on both sides of river, 109 holes. These too uniform for such. Older Wanapums confirmed existence of large old village as passed on to them through recollection of others. Evidently biggest Wanapum village along river."
