Tournament to help youth
travel to Italy with Team USA
This Richard Macy drawing shows the house where Billy Chinook lived on the reservation.
A m o n g th e h isto ric a l
drawings by artist Richard
Macy is the house on the res
ervation where Billy Chinook
once lived.
T he house is no longer
there, though rem nants re
m ain at the site on Miller
Flat.
Macy used an old photo
g ra p h o f th e b u ild in g to
make the drawing. Historian and
a u th o r G eo rg e A guilar first
showed the photo to Macy.
T he photograph is small and
dark, and Macy had to use a
magnifying glass to better see the
details and recreate them.
Macy was inspired to make,
the drawing, because Billy Chi
nook is his great great grandfa
ther.
Billy C hinook, o r W illiam
Parker, lived on the reservation
later in his life, after the tribes
and the U.S. governm ent signed
th e T rea ty o f 1855, w h ich
Parker helped to negotiate on
behalf o f the tribes.
As a young man, Billy lived
at The Dalles. H e later traveled
with the Frem ont expedition in
the 1840s to California.
H e lived fo r a tim e in
W ashington, D .C ., and in
Philadelphia. H e then moved
back to California, and then
returned to The Dalles, where
he becam e an advocate o f
his Wasco people.
After the treaty, Billy was
relocated to the reservation,
where he lived on Miller Flat
until his passing in 1890.
