Abstract
"1--What do the Wanapums call themselves in their own language? The Wanapums call themselves 'Wanapums.' Interpretation: Wana, 'river;' pum, 'people.' Sometimes they say 'Priest Rapids' using the English words rather than the native word, 'P'na'. Although P'na specifically means 'fish weir,' they refer to that general area on the river, including a village site which has another name, as P'na. They will say 'we are going to hold a dance at P'na,' or 'we are going to hold a dance at Priest Rapids.'"
