| dc.description.abstract | "Wishram was one of the best fishing points on the river, owing to its location at the head of the Narrows, but the feature which riveted the attention and interest of early explorers was the system of barter carried on by the tribes who were not here annually to trade and gamble. It was the trading mart of the Columbia, the Monte Carlo of the aborigines. Instead of the tepee these tribes had houses of wood hewed from giant cedar trees with implements of bone and stone. Their beds were bunks covered with skins. Here came the tribes from the mouth of the Columbia with dried oysters and clams with fish from the sea cost with berries and roots, especially the wapato from the islands of the lower Columbia, and trinkets obtained from whites traders along the coast." | en_US |
