Region

Page 5: American Indian Project

Where Does Your Tribe Live?The Umatilla people occupied the sides of the Big River (Columbia). This was from above the junction of the Umatilla River down to the vicinity of Willow Creek on the Oregon side. The people on the river were tied with each other. This allowed them to trade frequently.

Physical Features/Landforms and Climate

The Plateau region has flatlands, rolling hills, and gorges. There is little rainfall here, but they get their water from the bigger Columbia and Fraser rivers that are fed by the rainfall in the mountains.

Basic Necessities

Page 8: American Indian Project

FoodThe Plateau region relied mostly on it’s fish such as salmon, lamprey, steelhead, sturgeon and others. The big animals and Indians relied more on the salmon. The smaller animals were more abundant. Several birds and wildlife share the land too. To go along with their meals, roots, nuts, berries, mushrooms, and fiber plants were available seasonally. Most foods would be dried and stored for later use. It would either be dried individually or mixed and pounded to form cakes.

ShelterIn the older times, the Umatilla tribe and a few others made houses that were easy to move when following food. The tents they made was called a longhouse. A longhouse is 80ft long and a frame made out of lodge poles and covered by tule mats. Tule mats came from the long skinny-leafed tule plants. They were dried and strung together to make mats. When a family wanted to move they took the mats and traveled to the next camp. The poles were left for later use. Later they learned how to make tepee’s from the Midwestern tribes.

Culture

Page 11: American Indian Project

CraftsThe Umatilla people made crafts usually from nature. Many of the tools were made from wood, stone, and bone. One of the tools they made of deer antlers, it was called a digging stick. Crafts such as drums, woven bags, and beaded things were used in celebrations and special occasions. The Indians also carved different designs on things to make them look special.

Traditions/Ceremonies

The Umatilla tribe cultures have been passed down from generation to generation. The Umatilla people speak a different language and have different traditions than us Americans. Relatives teach their children to do all the things their descendants did to stay alive. Now it’s used to keep the culture alive. A celebration they practiced honored the traditional foods; this was called the Root Fest. It continues each spring.

Questions

Page 14: American Indian Project

I got these answers from the site, http://www.umatilla.nsn.us/hist1.html#ceremonies/http://www.umatilla.nsn.us/hist3.html#ceremonies1) Horses - They had a tremendous amount of

horses to get around and trade with.2) I would be honored because clothes show the

uniqueness in somebody and their personality.3) The Umatilla tribe are kind of already nomads,

moving from camp to camp, but if they had to move from region to region they would have to adapt or “fatal harm” will happen to them.
