Dakota Indians -- Wars, 1890-1891; Ghost dance
+Pishquitpah+ (Shahaptian stock).—This name occurs only in the
narrative of Lewis and Clark as that of a tribe in 1805, “residing
at the Muscleshell rapid and on the north side of the Columbia to
the commencement of the high country, wintering on the borders of
the Tapteal.” The Tapteal (properly Waptail or Waptailmĭm) is Yakima
river. This would locate them in eastern Klickitat and Yakima counties,
Washington. They are probably identical with the Pĭsko band of the
Yakima. In the name Pishquitpah the final _pah_ is the Yakima or Pä′lus
locative _pä_, “at.”
+K̔ka′săwi+ or +Kowwassayee+ (Shahaptian stock).—A small tribe speaking
the Tenino language and formerly occupying a village of the same name,
K̔ka′săwi, on the north bank of the Columbia, in Klickitat county,
Washington, about opposite the mouth of the Umatilla. The full name is
K̔ka′săwi-‛lĕ′ma, “people (_‛lĕma_) of the arrow-making place,” the
local form being from _k̔ka′so_, “arrow.” They took part in the Yakima
treaty of 1855 under the name of Kowwassayee, and are now on Yakima
reservation.
+Hăhau′pûm+ or +Wahowpum+ (Shahaptian stock).—A small tribe speaking
the Tenino language and occupying a village, Hăha′u, on the north bank
of the Columbia, about the mouth of Olive creek, in Klickitat county,
Washington. The word means “willow people,” from _hăha′u_, a species of
willow, and _pûm_, “people.” They are the Wahowpum of Lewis and Clark.
They have never had official recognition.
+Uchi′chol+ or +Ochechotes+ (Shahaptian stock).—A small tribe speaking
the Tenino language, living now, or formerly, on the north bank of
the Columbia in Klickitat county, Washington. They are mentioned as
Ochechotes in the Yakima treaty of 1855, and may now be incorporated
with other tribes on Yakima reservation. The name, from the Tenino
language, signifies the “hind dorsal-fin” (of a salmon), and is the
name of a rock on the north side of the Columbia, opposite the upper
end of the island, at the mouth of the Des Chutes. See _Tapänäsh_.
+Skĭ′npä+ (Shahaptian stock).—_Synonyms_: Sawpaw (?), Skien, Skin,
Skinpah. A small tribe speaking the Tenino language and formerly having
a village on the north bank of the Columbia in Klickitat county,
Washington, at the falls opposite Celilo. They took part in the Yakima
treaty of 1855 under the name of Skinpah, and are now incorporated
with the other tribes on Yakima reservation. The name is Tenino, and
means “cradle place,” or “at the cradle,” from _skĭn_, “cradle,” and
_pä_, the locative, and refers to a prominent rock at the site of
their former village having some resemblance to an Indian cradle. See
_Tapänäsh_.
