Walla Walla Council (1855)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Walla Walla Council (1855) was a meeting in the Pacific Northwest between the United States and sovereign tribal bodies of the Cayuse, Nez Perce, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Yakama.[1] The treaties signed at this council were ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1859.[2] These treaties codified the constitutional relationship between the people living on the Nez Perce, Umatilla, and Yakama reservations.
