 p{sko, 'bend in the river'). Originally a 

 Salish tribe on Wenatchee or Pisquows r., 

 a western tributary of the Columbia in

 Washington. Gibbs states that by 1853 

 they were so largely intermarried with 

 the Yakima as to have ahnost lost their 

 identit}\ Gibbs, Hale, and most subse- 

 quent authors have employed the term 

 in a collective sense. The former made 

 it include "the Indians on the Columbia 

 between the Priest's and Ross' rapids on 

 the Pisquouse or Winatshapam r., the En- 

 te-at-kwu, Chelan lake, and the Methow 

 or Barrier r. ' ' The Pisquows proper or 

 the remnant of them are now on the 

 Y''akima res.. Wash. Their bands were 

 Camiltpaw, Siapkat, Shallattoo, Shan- 

 wappom, Skaddal, and Squannaroo. See

Pitahauerat ('downstream,' or 'east.' — 

 Grinnell). One of the tribes of the Paw- 

 nee confederacy. The French spoke of 

 them as Tapage Pawnee, and in a treaty 

 with the U. S. in 1819 the tribe is desig- 

 nated as Noisy Pawnees. The Pitahaue- 

 rat always placed their villages toward 

 the E., or downstream, from the Chaui, and 

 are spoken of as the lower villages. At 

 one time the tribe lived on Smoky Hill 

 r., w. Kans., and later rejoined their 

 kindred on Loup r., Nebr., where their 

 reservation was established in 1857. In 

 1876 they were removed to Oklahoma, 

 where they now live. Their lands have 

 been allotted in severalty, and they are 

 citizens of the U. S. In their village 

 organization, customs, and beliefs, they 

 did not differ from the other Pawnee. 

 According to Grinnell the tribe is divided 

 into the Pitahauerat proper and the Ka- 

 warakish. ( A. c. P. )
