Palouse

 

Living along the Palouse River in what is now eastern Washington, northeast Oregon, and north central Idaho, the Palouse, were culturally related to the Nez Perce. When Lewis and Clark encountered them in October 1805, they called them "Pallotepellows" and estimated their number at around 1,600. The Palouse people were semi-sedentary hunter/gatherers. Acquiring horses early, they were expert horsemen, breeders, and horse traders. The Appaloosa horse, with its distinctive spotted coat, speed, and stamina, takes its name from the tribe. Like other tribes on the Columbia Plateau, they also depended heavily on fishing in the many rivers of the region.

 

Though they initially traded with white fur traders and settlers, they soon came into conflict with them as the Palouse people suffered from diseases. In 1847, after a measles epidemic, they fought with the Cayuse in the Cayuse War. In 1855, they were recognized in the Treaty with the Yakama, but the treaty was never recognized by the tribe and they refused to lead the reservation life. However, when that treaty was immediately broken, they joined forces with the Yakama and other tribes in the Yakima War in 1855 and the Coeur d'Alene War of 1858. Some individuals eventually joined reservations. Their descendants today are called "Palouse" by the Yakama Nation and "Palus" by the Colville Confederated Tribes.

Today Sujayne and I started off to Terryall to find the oldest in Colorado. From there we went to Pikes Peak and finshed the day caching north of Denver.
Many thanks for all the fun!

And I thought I was parked in a safe spot on a quiet road. Suddenly there are trucks everywhere and folks slowing down to check I was OK! Not as quick a grab as I had hoped for.

We went by where we were going to turn around, decided to grab one before turning back. :)

Put some miles on while caching today! I started out in Parker for the event, some lab caches, and working on my 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Peace love pi was going to join me, but felt a little under the weather. I wound up meeting her a little north of here to visit a cache on its birthday, and we wound up in Brighton. We didn't have a lot of time, so we picked this power trail nearby. I didn't realize it, but we hit about 26 caches in an hour and a half. We replaced logs and containers as needed. Signed logs with the Pi symbol and a paw, and not always at the end of the line. What can I say? I was a little messy today. Sorry for the cut and paste logs mondou2, but I didn't take good notes. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3361.

This was another easy find with a useful hint, although I suspect I didn't really need it; good job and TFTC!
