Klickitat people
In the early 1850s, the Klickitat Tribe raided present-day Jackson County, Oregon from the north and settled the area. Modoc, Shasta, Takelma, Latgawas, and Umpqua Indian tribes had already lived within the present boundaries of that county.
Tlowitsis Nation
The Tlowitsis Nation, formerly the Tlowitsis Tribe, is the Indian Act band government of the Ławit'sis (Tlowitsis) tribe of the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples, located in the Queen Charlotte Strait-Johnstone Strait area in the Discovery Islands between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland in Canada. Ławit'sis territory covers parts of northern Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait, and adjoining inlets of the mainland. Kalugwis, on Turnour Island, was their principal community in times past, but the band's offices are in the city of Campbell River to the southeast. Hanatsa IR No. 6 on Port Neville is the most populated of the band's Indian reserves. The tlowitsis were amalgamated with the Matilpi Tribe during the 1940s. The Matilpi Tribe were also known as the Maam tagila Tribe. The amalgamation was ordered by the Indian Agent, in order to make the management of these two smaller tribes easier. The Matilpi/ Maamtagila are still in existence today and have their own songs, oral histories and recognition by the various tribes that comprise the Kwa kwa kw,wakw nation. Their primary dwelling places were Matilpi Village and Haylate. They were the "protectors"of the Kwa kwa kw wakw, as told by the various elders of the many tribes of the Kwa kwa kw wakw. these locations were central to the overall territories of the Kwa kwa kw wakw peoiple, allowing them to defend both the northern and southern tribes.The Maamtagila were also known for their harvesting of Cedar trees and carving. Their reputation as warriors was acknowledged by all Kwa kwa kw wakw tribes. This was told to me by the various elders of both northern and southern Kwa kwa kw wakw tribes and hereditary chiefs.
