Abstract
"The government formerly gave each of the tribes a different colored blanket. The color of the blanket of the Yakimas was green, of the Okanogan red and so through the list of tribes. Singularly enough the blankets corresponded to the color of the five hills surrounding the basin and when the head chiefs of the council each tribe too the hill which matched the blankets while the head chief and his retinue occupied the center hill."
