 The Tatoosh Range was used historically by Taidnapam (Upper Cowlitz) Indians.In mid-to-late August, Taidnapam families would climb up the ridge from fishing camps at the confluence of the Muddy Fork and Clear Fork Cowlitz Rivers, to hunt, gather materials for making baskets, and pick huckleberries for drying.The dried berries were transported to home villages for eating during the winter months.
