Klickitat
A Shahaptian tribe whose home was at the headwaters of the Cowlitz, Lewis, White Salmon, and Klickitat Rivers, in Klickitat and Skamania Counties, Washington. In 1805 Lewis and Clark reported them as wintering on the Yakima and Klickitat Rivers, and estimated their number at about 700. Between 1820 and 1830 the tribes of Willamette Valley were visited by an epidemic of fever and greatly reduced in numbers. Enterprising traders, they became widely known as intermediaries between the coast tribes and those living east of the Cascade range. They joined in the Yakima treaty at Camp Stevens, Washington on June 9, 1855, by which they ceded their lands to the United States. Today, they reside with the Yakima Indians on the Yakama Reservation in Washington.
