+Täpanä′sh+ or +Eneeshur+ (Shahaptian stock).—A small tribe speaking
the Tenino language, having a village on the north bank of the Columbia
in Klickitat county, Washington, about opposite the mouth of Des
Chutes river and a little above Celilo. The name is identical with
the Eneeshur of Lewis and Clark, these explorers in 1805 having also
included under this name the various bands speaking the Tenino language
on both sides of the Columbia about the mouth of the Des Chutes. The
Tapänäsh have no official recognition. See _Tenino_.
+Tlaqluit+ or +Wŭshqûm+ (Chinookan stock).—_Synonyms_: Echebool,
Echeloot, Eloot, Helwit, Niculuita, Ouichram, Tchilouit, Tilhulhwit,
Wisham, Wishham, Wishram, Wisswham. The Tlaqluit, with the Wasko, are
the easternmost tribes of Chinookan stock on the Columbia, having
immediately above them the Shahaptian tribes, speaking the Tenino
language. The Tlaqluit territory lies along the north bank of the
Columbia in Klickitat county, Washington, from Tenino, about 6 miles
above The Dalles, down to the neighborhood of White Salmon river.
They call themselves Tlaqluit (Echeloot of Lewis and Clark), and are
called Wŭshqûmă-pûm, or “Wŭshqûm people,” by the tribes speaking the
Tenino language, Wŭshqûm being the name of their chief village near
South Side at The Dalles, the great fishing and trading resort for
the tribes of this section. The name appears also as Wishram. Both
Tlaqluit and Wŭshqûm refer to a species of louse or flea abounding in
that neighborhood. They took part in the Yakima treaty of 1855 under
the name of Wishham, but most of them have probably never gone on the
reservation. See _Wasko_.
There is a tradition in the tribe that long before the coming of the
whites to the Columbia a band of Tlaqluit left their people on account
of a petty quarrel as to whether a goose made a certain noise with its
bill or with its wings, and went up the Columbia and the Spokane, and
are supposed to be now about the headwaters of the latter stream and
still retaining their language, although under a different tribal name.
+Chilû′ktkwa+ or +Chilluckittequaws+ (Chinookan stock).—A tribe
formerly extending along the north bank of the Columbia in Klickitat
and Skamania counties, Washington, from about White Salmon river down
to some distance below the Cascades. They are called Chilluckittequaws
in 1805 by Lewis and Clark, who speak also of a separate band of the
same tribe under the name of Smackshop, a name which can not now be
identified. The tribe now numbers less than 100. Until recently the
remnant lived about the mouth of White Salmon river, but removed about
thirteen years ago to the Cascades. Their language is nearly the same
as that of the Wasko. They have never had official recognition.
