*On Location* Kaya at Sacajewea State Park - Washington

Here are more pictures from Kaya’s visit to Sacajewea State Park. These are from the museum. 

Kaya visted Sacajawea State Park in Washington state.  This is were the Snake and Columbia rivers meet and is also the location that Lewis and Clark Expedition camped on October 16, 1805. 

Kaya went into the Sacajewea Museum. Here are some pictures from the museum. Kaya was so excited to see some of the exhibits, that it was hard to stop and take pictures.

Notice in picture 2 there are two dugout canoes tied together. In a prior post with Kaya, is a picture of dugout canoes, so you can get an idea of the size. 

 There are two more places that I hope we get to, one is Lake Wallowa, which I think is mentioned in one of Kaya’s books (6 volume set), either in the story or the historical section. The second is Columbia Hills State Park, which is very close to the area where Kaya crossed the river and found her sister, which is mentioned in the historical section.

Thank you, Renee

*On Location* Kaya - Columbia River, Washington State

Kaya’s next stop is Sacajawea Park in Paso, WA. 

The Lewis and Clark Expedition camped at this park on October 16, 1805. It is also were the Snake River and Columbia Rivers meet. Kaya’s last place Kaya visited was on the Snake River. 

There is a dugout canoe on display.  

This is the Columbia River. I was told, back before the dams were put in the Columbia River, that the Indian tribes were able to walk across to the land on the other side. Standing at the point of the park, reference the park map in a previous picture. The Snake River runs under the railroad bridge, and then meets the Columbia River.

*On Location* Indian Tribes - Washington State

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. 

http://www.native-languages.org/washington.htm

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.
