We live in SE Washington. There is a lot of Indian history here and
around us, some related to Kaya and some not. Last year we started going
to some of the sights, and there are some that I still want to get to,
hopefully by the end of the fall.
This
is a link that shows the tribes in Washington state. In our area, we
have Nez Perce, Palouse, Cayuse and Umatilla. There is also Sacagawea.
Some
places, and rivers or other things are named after the tribes. There is
a city/town called Wenatchee, Yakima River, Palouse Falls. Columbia
River, Spokane, and etc.
Our
first stop is on the Snake River, above the Ice Harbor Dam. On the
hillside above the dam is a rock, with petroglyphs. We aren’t allowed
to take pictures of the dam, but this link provides a history of the dam
as well as photos and other information.

Renee, Thank you for sharing this with us. It is very important to remember the tribes as they were then and are now.
