Note: This is a federally-recognized reservation stewarded by the Warm Springs, Wasco, and Paiute tribes comprising the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. The reservation spans 643,570 acres on the eastern slope of the Cascade Range in north-central Oregon, 596,290 acres of which are tribally owned. The entire reservation comprises a watershed zone and the majority of the land-base is covered with forested timber lands. It was first established by an 1855 treaty negotaited by Joel Palmer, superintendent for the Oregon Territory. While the treaty required the Warm Springs and Wasco tribes to cede 10 million acres of their ancestral land to the federal government, it also reserved the Warm Springs Reservation for the tribes' exclusive use. The settlement of the Paitues on the reservation began in 1879, when a group of displaced Paitues relocated to this reservation from the Yakama Reservation. After years of negotiation, 78,000 acres of timber land known as the McQuinn Strip was returned to the Confederated Tribes in 1972. |
