Abstract

"A heritage born one-hundred years ago when the treaty makers assembled in a cottonwood grove at Walla Walla is a precious possession of the Yakimas. They had one heritage so old that no one knows when it was born. It was a heritage of religion that recognized a Creator who gave life to the Earth and its possessions. The Treaty of 1855 has matured into a heritage for those living and yet unborn. The wise old chiefs, with a power born only to gifted leaders, realized that the future life must change for their people when the unwanted treaty was thrust upon them."
