Abstract
"The Indian faith they so strictly keep, which recognizes a Creator and Superior Being, was founded at their historic village at Priest Rapids and spread from there throughout all of Eastern Washington, northward into British Columbia, westward along the Columbia River, into Oregon, into Northern California; eastward into Idaho and Montana and southeastward to other peoples until 20,000 to 30,000 Indians embraced it. It is now retained in its pure form at Priest Rapids, where the only tule mat house now used as a living place by Indians in Washington, is also located."
