Tlakluit {Ila'xluH, their own name, of 

 unknown meaning) . A Chinookan tribe 

 formerly occupying the n. side of Colum- 

 bia r. in Klickitat CO., Wash., from about 

 6 m. above The Dalles down to the neigh- 

 borhood of White Salmon r. They ad- 

 joined Shahaptian tribes on the e. and n., 

 while the Chilluckittequaw, known also 

 as White Salmon Indians, were their 

 neighbors in the w. Their farthest point 

 E. was a small island bearing a name 

 meaning 'Atatahlia's roasting place,' in 

 allusion to a mythical incident; proceed- 

 ing westward their villages were: Waya- 

 gwa; Wakemap; Wishram (properly 

 called Nixliiidix'), about 5 m. above The 

 Dalles; Shikeldaptikh, about i ni. below; 

 Shabanshksh, a mile below Wishram; 

 Skukskhat; Wasnaniks; Niukhtash, at 

 Big Eddy; Hliluseltshlikh; Gawishila, 

 a fishing station; Chalaitgelit; Kwala- 

 sints, opposite The Dalles; Gawilapchk, 

 a winter village; Nayakkhachikh, an- 

 other winter village; Tsapkhadidlit, a 

 wintering place; Shkonana, opposite 

 Crate's Point; Shkagech; Hladakhat, 

 about 10 m. below The Dalles; Shgwa- 

 liksh, about 2 m. below (perhaps a Kli- 

 kitat village); Waginkhak, 5 m. below. 



In 1806 Lewis and Clark estimated their 

 number at 1,000. They participated in 

 the Yakima treaty of 1855, but most of 

 them have never gone on the Yakima 

 reservation, although they are nomi- 

 nally under its jurisdiction. They are 

 tribally, but not linguistically, distinct 

 from the Wasco (q. v.). The tribe be- 

 came notorious for the trouble they caused 

 the early traders and settlers in making 

 theportageattheirprincipal village, Wish- 

 ram. Their present number is about 150, 

 some of whom live regularly in their fish- 

 ing village of Wishram on the Columbia. 

 About half this number are mixed 

 bloods. See Sapir, Wishram Texts, Pub.

Tlascopsel. According to the royal 

 cedula of Apr. 16, 1748 (ArchivoGen.de 

 M(§x., R. Ced., Lxviii, i\lS.), providing 

 for the establishment of three missions 

 on San Xavier (San Gabriel) r., Texas, 

 this was one <>i the tribes which previ- 

 ously asked for a mission there. They 

 have not been identified and probably 

 are known in history by some other 

 name. In discussing the cedula referred 

 to, a contemporary who evidently had 

 lived in Texas wrote: "The Lacopseles, 

 which later are called Tlacopseles, besides 

 being very strange (exlrauo) to me, are 

 likewise unknown to the Asinay or Texa 

 language, for it is well known that their 

 alphabet does not contain I, which occurs 

 twice in each name." He concludes, 

 therefore, that the name must have been 

 reported in the Yadocxa (Deadose, which 

 was that of the Bidai and Arkokisa) lan- 

 guage (MS., ca. 1748, in the archives of 

 the College of Guadalupe de Zacatecas, 

 Mexico). (h. e. b. )
