| dc.description.abstract | "Priest Rapids -- in the Columbia River southwest of Grant County. Alexander Ross of the Astoria party writing in 1811 said: Here a large concourse of Indians met us and after several friendly harangues commenced the usual ceremony of smoking the pipe of peace; after which they passed the night in dancing and singing. The person who stood foremost in all these introductory ceremonies was a tall meager middle-aged Indian who attached himself very closely to us from the first moment we saw him. He was called Ha-que-laugh which signifies doctor or rather priest --- we named the place Priest Rapids after him (Oregon Settlers Early Western travelers edition Pages 143-144. The name was charted by David Thompson and appears in the writings of the early travelers as well as on recent maps." | en_US |
