Abstract
Located in the Northern Great Basin and Western Slope regions of Oregon respectively, the Warm Springs Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation are prime examples of how historically different tribes are forced to live together as a sovereign nation under the umbrella of a representative confederation. By focusing on inter-tribal dynamics of both the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, my research seeks to determine the historical impact 19th century settler-colonialism has had on shaping contemporary inter-tribal relations and counter the widespread assumption that all participating tribes of a confederation receive equal representation.
