The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakima Nation, or Yakama Nation, is a Native American group with nearly 9,000 enrolled members, living in Washington (state). Their reservation, along the Yakima River, covers an area of approximately 1.3 million acres (5,260 km²). Today the nation is governed by the Yakima Tribal Council, which consists of represenatives of 14 tribes and bands.
