The Klickitat (also spelled Klikitat) are a Native American tribe of the Pacific Northwest. Today they are enrolled in the federally recognized Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation. A Shahaptian tribe, their eastern neighbors were the Yakama, who speak a closely related language. Their western neighbors were various Salishan and Chinookan tribes. Their name has been perpetuated in Klickitat County, Washington, Klickitat, Washington, Klickitat Street in Portland, Oregon, and the Klickitat River, a tributary of the Columbia River. The Klickitat were noted for being active and enterprising traders, and served as intermediaries between the coastal tribes and those living east of the Cascade Mountains. == Name== The ethnonym "Klikitat" is said to derive from a Chinookan word meaning "beyond," in reference to the Rocky Mountains. The Klickitat, however, call themselves ''Qwû'lh-hwai-pûm'' or ''χwálχwaypam'', meaning "prairie people" (X̣ʷáɬx̣ʷaypam). The Yakama called them ''Xwálxwaypam'' or ''L'ataxat''. Other names for the Klickitat include: *''Awi-adshi'', Molala name. *''Lûk'-a-tatt'', Puyallup name. *''Máhane'', Umpqua name. *''Mǐ-Çlauq'-tcu-wûn'-ti'', Alsea name, meaning "scalpers." *''Mûn-an'-né-qu' tûnnĕ'', Naltunnetunne name, meaning "inland people." *''Tlakäï'tat'', Okanagon name. *''Tsĕ la'kayāt amím'', Kalapuya name. *''T!uwānxa-ikc'', Clatsop name. *''Wahnookt'', Cowlitz name. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Klickitat people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
