Abstract

"The forgetful years have hidden many letters and documents dealing with the Yakima War. One was written by Father Pandosy at the Autumn Mission, dictated by Kamiakin less than two months after the treaty. Kamiakin spoke, and Father Pandosy wrote. 'Tell them we are quiet friends of the Americans, that we are not thinking of war. They way the governor has talked to us has irritated us. If the governor had told us, 'my children I am asking you for a piece of land for each tribe, but the land and your country is still youngs, we would have given willingly. But he has taken us and thrown us out of our country in a strange land in a place where its people do not even have enough to eat.'"
