Yakama
 The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima Nation, or Yakama Nation, is a Native American group with nearly 9,000 enrolled members, living in Washington (state). Their reservation, along the Yakima River, covers an area of approximately 1.3 million acres (5,260 km²). Today the nation is governed by the Yakima Tribal Council, which consists of represenatives of 14 tribes and bands. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ The Yakama people were similar to the other native inhabitants of the Columbia River Plateau. They lived off the abundant salmon in the Columbia River as well as berries from the nearby mountains. In 1805 they were discovered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition where the Yakima River merges with the Columbia River. As a consequence of the Walla Walla Council and the Yakima War of 1855, the tribe was moved onto their present reservation.
