Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation are a federally recognized group composed of three native tribes: the Umatilla, Cayuse, and Walla Walla. Located in northeastern Oregon, they share a reservation and collaborate on governance, cultural preservation, and economic development. The tribes maintain traditional practices, language, and sovereignty while working with government agencies to support their members. Their sovereignty allows them to manage their resources and programs independently, aiming to sustain their cultural heritage and improve the well-being of their community members.
