| The Wallawalla were a semi-sedentary hunter/gatherer tribe. They were originally located in Washington along the Wallawalla River and a short span along the Columbia River and the Snake River about the Oregon/Washington border. They traded with the first Whites to arrive, but ultimately had conflicts and suffered from the later settlers. |
