In the old world today, the Swim
are the source from which springs the
vitality of Europe, a free and hardy
race, a courageous, liberty loving peo
ple. They were the mountaineers of
the Alpe. In the new world the great
conquering race was the Shahaplian
stock of Indiana. The vast territory
around the Snake river and the mid
dle Columbia, from the Bitter Root
mountains to the Cascade Range was
formerly theirs Among the tribes
composing this dominating race were
the Nex Perce, the Klikitat, the Pal
un. Walla Walla, Takima and Uma
tilla. As might be expected from their
environment and habits, they were
tall, muscular and well formed, ana
even now there may be seen in the
reservation some of the finest men,
physically, to be met with anywhere.
They were horsemen and soldiers,
and as dangerous a race as the whites
ever encountered in their march
across the continent For three hun
dred years before the coming of
Lewis and Clark, the Umatillas had
possessed large bands of horse, and
when Hunt surmounted the "Smoky"
or Blue mountains in 1812 he found
the plains covered with Immense
herds of cayuse ponies. A people
which rides horses Is not easy to sub
due, but finally the ever increasing
tide of immigration began replacing
the Indian. Their roving liberty was
checked and in battles they were
gradually defeated. Chiefs of some
of the tribes predicted that unless
some treaty was made with the whites
their homes would be taken away
and they would be driven out for
ever. This seemed unbelievable but
the people slowly realixed that It
was true.
In 1855. Peopeomoxmox and Wey
atenatemany, and Wenap-snoot
chiefs of the three confederated tribes
of Walla Wallas, Cayuses and Uma
tillas. met at Camp Stevens In Wal a
Walla vally to make a reaty with
representatives of the government.
They agreed to cle to the U. S
all the territory which they claimed,
providing that a certain amount
should be set apart as a residence for
the Indians. This was to Include the
land Inclosed within the boundaries
commencing in the middle of the
L'mallla river, opposite the mouth of
Wild Horse creek, up the channel to
its source, thence southerly to Lee's
Encampment now called Meacham,
thence in a line to the headwaters ot
Howtome creek, or now McKay; west
to the divide between Howtome and
Birch creeks, thence northerly to a
point west of Wil'.iam McKay's land
claim, or the Fanning place, and
thence to ttie place of beginning.
The treaty provided for th build
ing of homes for the chiefs, the pay
ment of money annually for twenty
years, and of certain smaller grants
which pleased the Indians, as well as
a promise of educational Institutions.
The value of the reservation lands is
best shown by the fact that the Uma
tillas. who well knew the favored
parts of the vast Inland Empire, chose
for their homes this spot on the Uma
tilla river.
Perhaps this roving tribe did go
to the Grand Ronde or Wallowa val
leys In summer to graze their poniet
or camp for a time on the banks of
the Columbia, but when the snow
storms came, the lordly river lost its
charms, and they hurried back to nes
tle comfortably in their tepees along
the banks of the Umatilla. The In
dians were wise in their day' and
proved it when they chose a land.
SO. 000 acres of which rroduces at the
present time twenty-five to fifty
bushels of wheat to the acre and is
valued at over 140. aggregating 83.
600.000. The 100.000 acres which is
not tillable consists of timber and
grazing lands and is valued at about
8150.000.
But not until recent years have
the merits of the land been s fully
tested, for the Indians could not sup
press their liberty loving nature. In
the summer of 1878, when the Ban
nocks and Tiutes invaded this coun
try the citizens feared the reserva
tion Indians intended uniting with
the hostiles. The Umatillas deter
mined to show their loyalty. They
captured the chief of the enemies,
drove them away and returned, flush
ed with victory. l the white forces
concentrated at the mission A pro
cession of all the Indians on the res
ervation was formed and passed in
review before the U. S. troops which
had arrived.
A little later, the so-called "Indian
scare" having pawed, the confederat
ed tribes expressed a desire to set
tle upon the lands in severalty and
have the residue not needed for the
allotments sold for their benefit.
A commission was appointed and
the allotments were made with suffi
cient pasture and timber lands for
their common use and 640 acres for
an industrial farm and school.
?ince this time the Umatilla In
dians have tilled the'r land, the chil
dren between the ages of 7 and 15
are compelled to attend school, and
the Indian has becceie. in most re
spects, civilized.
Tet in 1903 the UmatiV.as number
ed only ISO and these were scattered
here and there on the reservation,
for Indians are not builders of cities.
Their customs, their code of ethics
and social laws have been different
from ours since the dawn of their
race. Within the limits of their an
cient code they are scrupulous and
conscientious, measnred by ours they
fail entirely. Tet the fact that so
many have tried to adopt the a ays
of the mhite. have attempted to cul
tivate their lands and toll through the
hot August harvest, proves their
earnestness. Put yourself in their
place if you can, adopt their ancient
life and traditions, the freedom to
move when the fancy came to fresh
pastures and new streams, suddenly
deprived of your liberty, penned in a
reservation a few miles in extent a
tiny fraction of your former empire,
full of distrust for the great white
race swarming around you and you
will understand something of the sit
uation of the Umatilla Indian today.
