Abstract
"The Wanapums, now numbering less than a dozen non-treaty people, are the remnants of the band identified by Lewis and Clark as the Sokulks in 1805 and estimated then at 3,000 persons. They did not recognize Kamiakin, of part Yakima and part Palouse blood as their leader. They were not invited to the Treaty of Walla Walla, June 9, 1855. They retired to the solitude of Priest Rapids and were left alone there many years until the gradual closing in by various branches of government and land settlement. Finally, they find themselves with no place but Priest Rapids and that is now endangered."
