Tenino people
Years: 1500 - 2057
The Tenino people, commonly known today as the Warm Springs bands, are several Sahaptin Native American subtribes which historically occupy territory located in the North-Central portion of the American state of Oregon.
The Tenino people include four localized subtribes — the Tygh, or "Upper Deschutes;" the Wyam, or "Lower Deschutes;" the Dalles Tenino; and the Dock-Spus, or "John Day.
"Historically splitting their time between winter camps and summer camps on the Columbia River, in 1855 the Tenino people are made a party to the Treaty with the Tribes of Middle Oregon, which is negotiated by Oregon Superintendent of Indian Affairs Joel Palmer.
The Warm Springs bands are today a part of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, which governs the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Central Oregon.
