A collective designation for several remnant tribes of Shahaptian stock (q.v.) now residing with the Wasco (q.v.) and Tenino (q.v.) upon the Warmspriug Reservation in Northern Oregon, upon which they were col- lected under the terms of a treaty made in 1855. They speak the same language as the Tenino. and like them they were originally .salmon-fishers, root-diggers, and berry-gatherers. Although now mostly living in houses and wearing citizen's dress, they are still the most conservative tribe on the reservation. It was chiefly by their aid that the ilodocs (q.v.) were finally conquered in the war of 1872-73, the Warmsprings pursuing them into their retreat in the rocks of the Lava Beds, where the soldiers were afraid to venture.
