Klickitat (tribe)
The Klickitat (also spelled Klikitat) are a Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest. Today most Klickitat are enrolled in the federally recognized Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, some are also part of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. A Shahaptian tribe, their eastern neighbors were the Yakama, who speak a closely related language. Their western neighbors were various Salishan and Chinookan tribes. Their name has been perpetuated in Klickitat County, Washington, Klickitat, Washington, Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon (also Big Lake, Minnesota), and the Klickitat River, a tributary of the Columbia River. The Klickitat were noted for being active and enterprising traders, and served as intermediaries between the coastal tribes and those living east of the Cascade Mountains.

Klickitat Language
Sahaptin or Shahaptin, endonym Ichishkin, is one of the two-language Sahaptian branch of the Plateau Penutian family spoken in a section of the northwestern plateau along the Columbia River and its tributaries in southern Washington, northern Oregon, and southwestern Idaho, in the United States; the other language is Nez Perce or ''Niimi'ipuutímt''. Many of the tribes that surrounded the land were skilled with horses and trading with one another; some tribes were known for their horse breeding which resulted in today's Appaloosa or Cayuse horse. The word ''Sahaptin/Shahaptin'' is not the one used by the tribes that speak it, but from the Columbia Salish name, Sħáptənəxw / S-háptinoxw, which means "stranger in the land". This is the name the Wenatchi (in Sahaptin: Winátshapam) and Kawaxchinláma (who speak Columbia Salish) traditionally call the Nez Perce people. Early white explorers mistakenly applied the name to all the various Sahaptin speaking people, as well as to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Klickitat War
The Yakima War (1855–1858), also referred to as the Yakima Native American War of 1855 or the Plateau War, was a conflict between the United States and the Yakama, a Sahaptian-speaking people of the Northwest Plateau, then part of Washington Territory, and the tribal allies of each. It primarily took place in the southern interior of present-day Washington. Isolated battles in western Washington and the northern Inland Empire were sometimes separately referred to as the Puget Sound War and the Palouse War, respectively. Background Treaties between the United States and several Indian tribes in the Washington Territory resulted in reluctant tribal recognition of U.S. sovereignty over a vast amount of land in the Washington Territory. The tribes, in return for this recognition, were to receive half of the fish in the territory in perpetuity, awards of money and provisions, and reserved lands where white settlement would be prohibited.

Klickitat Mineral Springs
Two miles east of Klickitat, Washington are the Klickitat Mineral Springs. CO2 seeps from crevices in the basalt rock formation, presumed to originate from Mt. Adams. As early as 1879 a stage driver named Ed Phillips made side trips from Goldendale, Washington on his route between The Dalles, Oregon and Ellensburg, Washington for the carbonated water. While excavating one of the springs it caved in on him and he found himself in a warm mineral bath. The Native Americans in the nearby Wahkiakus village were already well aware of warm mineral baths, having built sweat houses utilizing the warm, carbonated water. Plans for a health spa gave way to a large bottling plant to supply Safeway with bottled water. However, although the bottled water was well liked it wasn't possible to keep the water clear and the bottles would soon go flat. After the owner, Mr. Langdon of Walla Walla, Washington, killed himself, in 1931 Raymond Newbern was sent by the Baker-Boyer Bank of Walla Walla to invest ...
