Another interesting date to remember Today in our Western history.
http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=5311
The Yakima Tribe finally got one of the largest reservations in the Territory. Other lesser Tribes who never raised arms against the US Army or settlers got little or nothing. The Wannapum Tribe come to mind.
Note: I believe that the Yakama Tribe forbids white hikers going to the east side of Mt. Adams.
Hey, The squeaky wheel get's the grease.
I've always wanted to go for a hike at east Mt Adams.

That's a good read, thanks for the link. I have read versions of the story over the years having grown up in the Yakima area. I still think its foolish that the tribe changed the spelling of their name, but I guess its their choice.

It is interesting stuff. I'm not a historian. And I'm only slightly college educated - but I love this stuff!
I live in King County and I take the Yakima Tribe seriously because they actually came across Natches Pass to attack Seattle during the Indian War. And they killed a guy. And more people in the valley. Such is war - I think about that every time I'm drinking beer in Seattle's Pioneer Square.

It used to be that way, but now they allow access.

I wonder if they allow people to drive the Mt Adams highway? Ever since I read the history on that highway I've wanted to give it a drive!
