The Middle region extends downriver nearly 200 miles from the mouth of the Snake River to present-day Bonneville Dam. Celebrated for their unique stone, wood, horn, and bone carvings, for basketry, and for their beadwork, the Indian peoples who lived along this expanse of river figured prominently in the writings of 19th-century explorers and early pioneers.
