Warm Springs Community
The Confederated Tribes of Warm
Springs Reservation is located along the banks of the Deschutes
River flanking the Eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains.
Home of the Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute tribes, the Warm
Springs Reservation is inhabited by over 4,000 tribal members,
most of whom live on the reservation.
Long before Europeans set foot on the North American continent,
the three tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation - - the Wasco,
the Walla Walla (later called the Warm Springs), and the Paiute
- - had developed societies beside the Columbia River, the
Cascade Mountains, and other parts of Oregon. Although they
have much in common today, each tribe has its own unique
history and heritage.
