Tribal Circumstances and
Impacts of the Lower Snake River Project on the Nez Perce, Yakama,
Umatilla, Warm Springs and Shoshone Bannock Tribes
Abstract |
This
report considers impacts on the Nez Perce Tribe, the Yakama Indian
Nation, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
and the Confederated Tribes of the Warms Springs Reservation of Oregon.
Each of these tribes is a sovereign nation, and is unique in many
ways. At the same time, these four tribes have retained close linkages
over the years: through blood ties; in cooperative pursuit of salmon
and other food; and through religion, sharing of languages and similarity
of treaties.
The Report also assesses impacts on the Shoshone-Bannock peoples,
who live further upriver in the Snake River drainage, and who
are more separated from the other four study tribes.
