	Spokane Indians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spokane was home of one of the charter teams of the Northwest League in 1955, but the team folded in 1956.
		Spokane returned to the NWL in 1972, but a new PCL franchise arrived from Portland, where it lasted until 1982 when it moved to Las Vegas to become the Las Vegas Stars and later the Las Vegas 51s.
		The Indians won the 2005 Northwest League championship despite having a record of 37-39 during the regular season, becoming only the second team in NWL history (the Salem Angels of 1982 were the first) to win the championship crown with a losing regular season record.

	Spokane (tribe) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word Spokane means “children of the sun” and demonstrates the bond the Spokane Indians had with nature.

		The Spokanes constructed permanent villages for the winter by the river for fishing and huts in the mountains for gathering.

		In six of the past seven seasons, the NWLCS has been a 3-0 series sweep but the Spokane Indians forced at least a game four by knocking off the Vancouver Canadians by a 6-1 margin to even up the best-of-five series at one game apiece.

	Spokane County, Visiting Here: History
		The reason for retaining the name Stevens County rather than Spokane County when the two counties were combined was due largely to sentiment honoring General Isaac I. Stevens, by naming the county after him.
		The county commissioners opposed this: "That in the opinion of the majority of the Board of County Commissioners, that the Act of 1875, being an amendment to the Act of 1863, an Act repealed by the Act of 1864, permanently locating the county seat at Colville, and consequently null and void.

	"Waiting for the Indians"
		The Spokanes were so closely associated with their falls and its salmon that they imitated the movement of the fish to indicate their tribal identity: "The right hand was brought in front of the body, the fingers and thumb extended and meeting.
		There were really two Spokanes during the 1870s: the tiny community of a few whites with their dreams of becoming a real town, even a real city, and the traditional Spokane Falls of the Indians, where some natives still lived and many others visited, especially when the salmon were running.
		The Indians had less to be hopeful about as the number of whites increased in their midst and they were relegated to a separate status.

	On "Scalp Dance by Spokane Indians"
		The Canadian artist Paul Kane, 1810-1871, whose oeuvre consists largely of sketches and paintings depicting landscapes and scenes of Indian life in Canada and the Pacific Northwest, plays a central role in Alexie's "Scalp Dance by Spokane Indians," named after Kane's painting of the same title.
		He saw me at Fort Spokane, even touched his hand to my face as if I were some caged and tame animal in a zoo.
		Indeed, the painting "Scalp Dance with Spokane Indians" most likely derived from Kane's sketch of a Chaulpay scalp dance, indicating a casual blending of tribal customs and a misrepresentation on a much broader scale (Harper 226-27, 294).

	The Spokane Indians and Bigfoot, 1975
		While researching material for a book he co-authored with Dr. Robert Ruby - - "The Spokane Indians, Children of the Sun" - - he came across a passage that must relate to what is now called a Sasquatch.
		They come to the people's lodges in the night, when the people are asleep, and put them under their skins and take them to their place of abode without their even walking.
		When they awake in the morning they are wholly lost, not knowing in what direction their home is. The account the Indians give of these giants will in some measure correspond with the Bible account of such a race of beings.
