Questions and Answers about the Spokane Indians
 

Where did they come from?
spacer

No one knows where the Plateau Indians came from when they first came into this area.

Some scientists think that the Plateau Indians came up from the South. According to this view, they came from the desert Basin Culture of dry Western North America, a primitive, seed-gathering culture

Other scientists think that the Plateau Indians came in from the Coast - either up the Columbia Gorge or over through the passes of the Cascade mountains. According to this theory, they came from the "old Cordilleran culture" of the Plateau and North Pacific Coast, a culture with hunting, fishing, and gathering activities.
