[edit] Tribes

The confederation consists of three tribes of the Pacific Northwest:

• The Sahaptin-speaking Warm Springs Indians, organized into four bands: Upper and Lower Deschutes (the Tygh and the Wyam), the Tenino, and the [John Day (Dock-spus);

• Two bands (The Dalles a.k.a. the Ki-gal-twal-la, and Dog River) of Wasco Indians who spoke a dialect of Upper Chinook

• The Northern Paiutes, who speak an offshoot of the Uto-Aztecan language family related to Shoshonean, had a way of life very different from the Warm Springs and Wasco bands.
