 the Tenino language. The Tlaqluit territory lies along the north bank 

 of the Columbia in Klickitat county, Washington, from Tenino, about <i

 river. They call themselves Tlaqluit (Echeloot of Lewis and Clark), 

 and are called Wnslnpima piun, or "Wtishqum people," by the tribes

 Wishram. Both Tlaqluit and Wfishqum refer to a species of louse or 

 tlea abounding in that neighborhood. They took part in the Y r akima 

 treaty of 1855 under the name of Wishham, but most of them have 

 probably never gone on the reservation. See WasTto.
