The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) are now re-submitting an HGMP for this yearling program to update the description of the current program. Both the Touchet River Endemic Summer Steelhead (O. Mykiss), Mid-Columbia ESU summer steelhead population, listed as threatened under the ESA as part of the Mid-Columbia River ESU (March 25, 1999; FR 64 No. 57: 14517-14528) and Wallowa Stock summer steelhead (O. Mykiss), (not ESA-listed) are currently produced at WDFW’s LFH and released into the Touchet River. This document covers only the Tucannon Endemic Steelhead program. The proposed hatchery program may slowly phase out the Wallowa stock from the Touchet River in the future. This will depend on the performance of the Touchet River endemic steelhead stock, and decisions reached with the co-managers for full implementation.

  • Yelleppit and the Walla Wallas
    Yelleppit and the Walla Wallas By Meriwether Lewis This excerpt from Meriwether Lewis’s journal describes the Corps of Discovery’s encounter with Walla Wallas and their headman Yelleppit (Tamtappam). After crossing the Umatilla River—which Lewis calls the “Youmalolam”—on their return to St. Louis, the “much fatigued” explorers stopped to eat. While encamped, they were met by Yelleppit and six others. Lewis and Clark recognized the headman from the previous fall, when the Expedition had stopped at his village near the mouth of the Walla Walla River. The captains had given Yelleppit a small peace medal and had promised to spend a few days with him the following spring. Little is known about Yelleppit aside from what is in the journals. When the explorers met him in October 1805, Clark described him as “a bold handsom Indian, with a dignified countenance about 35 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high and well perpotiond.” It is unlikely that Yelleppit was his name. Yalípt is a Sahaptin word that means “trading friend,” a formal social relationship among Plateau peoples whose economy was based in large part on trading, gifting, and other forms of exchange. Several months later, on April 27, 1806, Lewis wrote that Yelleppit was “a man of much influence not only in his own nation but also among the neighbouring tribes and nations.” The headman was interested in the American explorers, who he viewed as potential trading partners, and he persuaded them to stay at his village for a couple of days. The Walla Wallas entertained Expedition members with dancing and music, and a nearby village of Yakamas joined in the celebration.

  • A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
    WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.

  • Empty Harvest at Waiilatpu: the Mission Life of Narcissa Whitman Columbia Magazine, Fall 1992: Vol
    Empty Harvest at Waiilatpu: The Mission Life of Narcissa Whitman Columbia Magazine, Fall 1992: Vol. 6, No. 3 By Julie Roy Jeffrey THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY movement has often been considered irrelevant or embarrassing. Recently, though, historians and others have been reexamining the significance of mission work both within and outside the United States. New studies point out that missionary impulses to do good and to refashion other peoples and cultures have been central themes in American history since the 17th century. As their efforts expanded outside the continental United States in the early 19th century, missionaries became important agents of modernization. While missionaries can be considered successful proponents of modernization, it is striking to modern observers how many of these efforts at transformation failed. Perhaps contemporary uncertainties about the ability of the United States to deal with problems at home and abroad encourage an emphasis on the limits of American influence and a reconsideration of the appeal of American values and ideals. This reassessment of the American missionary movement suggests the need to reexamine the Protestant missions established in Oregon Territory during the 1830s and '40s. Their history reveals some of the general themes and issues that are central to understanding the American missionary enterprise and provides useful insights into 19th-century cultural attitudes and practices. New studies have been done on Protestant evangelicalism, middle-class culture and the position of women in pre-Civil War or antebellum America. These studies and the work done in Indian history over the last two decades contribute to an understanding of the complexity of cultural and religious encounters between white missionaries and the Indians they hoped to convert.

  • Milton-Freewater, Oregon
    Milton-Freewater, Oregon In the 1800’s, the towns of Milton and Freewater incorporated; Milton in 1889 and Freewater in 1892. Lying in the southern part of the Walla Walla River Valley, hearty pioneer families found an ideal climate and plenty of ‘elbow room.' Milton and Freewater merged in 1950 as the town that today bears the name Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Located on Oregon Highway 11 in the northeastern part of Umatilla County, it is 27 miles northeast of Pendleton, Oregon and 10 miles south of Walla Walla, Washington. Discover Historic Umatilla County, Oregon Looking back at Milton (now Milton-Freewater) in 1882 The town of Milton is situated on Walla Walla River, in the extreme northeast corner of Umatilla County, and but a few miles south from the line of Washington Territory. It lies just within the southern edge of the great Walla Walla Valley, and on the line of road now being constructed from Walla Walla by the O.R. & N. Co.. The narrow gauge branch from Whitman Junction, built two years ago, passes within a mile of the town. By it all freight is now received, and large quantities of grain are forwarded. In its life of ten years Milton has become a town of considerable prominence, and the next decade will probably witness a still more substantial growth than the last. Two good general stores indicate the amount of trade that now seeks this place from surrounding farms and the mountains. When a new county is created in this region, Milton expects to press its claims to the county seat with prospect of success.

  • The Towns and Lake Wallula
    Railroads WALLULA In 1871, construction of the first Pacific Northwest railroad of any length began at Wallula. The Walla Walla and Columbia River Railroad was completed in 1875 connecting the town of HISTORY SITE Walla Walla with the steamship dock at Wallula. The only prior tracks in the region were the short portage lines at the Cascades and between the Dalles and Celilo Falls. In 1880, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company began a line from Wallula to Portland, which by 1883 was linked at Wallula to the Northern Pacific’s transcontinental railroad. In 1888, five railroads brought as many as 15 to 30 trains a day to Wallula. Despite a town having been established around the ruins of Old Fort Walla Walla where the steamship dock and the WW&CR railroad depots were located, the OR&N built its track and depot a mile inland because its freight business no longer relied on river traffic. A new town of Wallula was then built around these tracks to capitalize on the railroad and its workers and customers, after which the first town was abandoned. The Wallula History Site There has long been recognition by individuals, Fort Walla Walla, John Mix Stanley, 1853 agencies and organizations of the need to create an interpretive site to honor Wallula’s significant Including early geology, tribal history. history, Lewis & Clark, fur traders, The citizens group Walla Walla 2020 has recently steamships, railroads, towns, and obtained permission from the Washington State Department of Transportation to construct an the McNary flood interpretive shelter at the eastern entrance to the Though Wallula aspired to be “The Railroad Center of the Wallula Gap at a turnout on US 730 just west of Northwest,” in 1884 the NP built the new town of Pasco, and Milepost 4.
