Overseeing the delivery of Health Care to Native American people in the Northwest

Yakama Tribe The Yakama Indian Reservation is comprised of 1,371,918 acres. Although our tribe ceded 10,828,800 acres of ancestral homeland to the U.S. government, we reserved our right to hunt, fish, access and use traditional cultural sites, gather traditional foods and medicines, and pasture in all of our "usual and accustomed places" within this ceded area. The Yakama Reservation is primarily agricultural on the valley floor, with range or grazing in the foothills, and forested to the west and south. The Indian Health Service operates a 40,000 SF facility located near Toppenish. User population in 1998 was 11,654.
