Abstract
"We know that long before Lewis and Clark the Shahaptian speaking tribes and bands we know now as the Confederated Yakima Indian Nation occupied not only this region but deep into Oregon. We know that through a sudden prolonged warlike period the Indians on the south gradually pushed the northern Indians back until they scarcely ventured to cross the Columbia River. This long series of raids continued until the northern Indians obtained guns with which to defend themselves. We know that there were at least 70 fishing and village sites, mostly along the north bank of the Columbia River, between The John Day Dam and McNary Dam, 67 miles upstream."
