The Indigenous peoples of the Columbia Plateau include many different tribal groups. The Plateau peoples' historic lands are in what is now British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. In Washington, the Yakama, Nez Perce, Spokane, Colville, and other Plateau tribes live east of the Cascade Range in the Columbia River watershed.

In this image, a young man and woman dressed in European-style clothing pose for the camera in a Yakima-area photographer's studio. The woman wears a simple beaded necklace and carries a beaded bag with floral designs. The young man holds a woolen blanket and wears a dress shirt, elaborate necktie, and hat.
