7. Proceedings of the Wasco Council, 1855

This version of the proceedings of the treaty-making Wasco Council is a reprinted typed transcript of the original report sent to George Maypenny, United States Commissioner of Indian Affairs, from Joel Palmer, Oregon Territory’s Superintendent of Indian Affairs. The council was held near The Dalles, Oregon, in June of 1855. The Warm Springs Reservation was created as a result of Congressional ratification, in 1859, of the treaty with the Taih, Wyam, Tenino, and Dock-Spus Bands of the Walla-Walla, and the Dalles, Ki-Gal-Twal-La, and the Dog River Bands of the Wasco.
