Origin Notes and History of East Kamiah
References to East Kamiah that document the origin of its place name
KAMIAH, Selway County.—This place was named for Kamiakan, chief of the Yakimas, who was the leader of the confederated tribes that participated in the Yakima Indian War of 1855-8. His father was a noted warrior of the Nez Perce tribe and his mother a princess of the Yakimas. He was born on the Clearwater about 1800 and was raised there until about ten years of age when his mother returned with him to her tribe. Kamiakan is a Shoshoni word meaning "Ka," "not," "mee-ah," "to go" and "kam-man," "want," or in plain English, "He does not want to go." It is said that he did not want to leave the Nez Perce tribe when a child.—SPLAWN, Kamiakan.
