The Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla people make up the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Since time immemorial, we have lived on the Columbia River Plateau. Specifically, our homeland is the area now known as northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington. Our three bands were brought
together on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, established by a
Treaty with the US Government in 1855. We were united as a single
tribal government in 1949 when our leaders adopted our Constitution
and By-laws.
