Shouldn’t the Cowlitz Tribe be in Cowlitz County?
The Cowlitz Tribe has existed in Clark and Cowlitz Counties since time immemorial, thousands of years before county lines were established. Evidence of our ancestral heritage includes the town of Battle Ground, where Cowlitz Chief Umtux was killed. Another example is the Cathapotle Village in Ridgefield and Fort Vancouver, where many Cowlitz lived and traded.
