The City of Bingen acknowledges the original inhabitants and traditional village sites of the land now occupied by Bingen. This land has been home to Indigenous People since time immemorial. These ancestral homelands extend beyond the soil and rock of the mountains and include Nch’i-Wána (The Big River). Tribes with historic ties to the area include the Cascades, Wasco, Wishram, Xwáłxwaypam (Klikatat), Wayám, and Yakama.1 Most descendants today are citizens of several federally-recognized Tribes, including the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde.
