Umatilla
The Umatilla belong to the Sahaptin- speaking Indians of North America . They originally lived in the Columbia Plateau region in the Pacific Northwest of the United States .
As part of the "Confederate Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation", the Umatilla now share the land and state administrative structures with the Cayuse and Walla Walla tribe. The reserve is near Pendleton , Oregon near the Blue Mountains .
A number of places and geographic features such as the Umatilla River , Umatilla County , Umatilla Town, and the Umatilla National Forest have been named after them. The reservoir of the John Day Dam is called "Lake Umatilla".
In 2006, the Confederate tribes of the Umatilla Reservation were granted the historical treaty right to hunt bison north of Yellowstone National Park in parts of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness for cultural reasons .
