The Upper Spokane, known as the Muddy Creek people, lived along the Spokane River and its tributaries. Their villages near Spokane Falls and the mouth of Latah Creek stood beside important salmon and steelhead fisheries. In 1810 the North West Company established Spokane House farther downriver, near the meeting of the Spokane and Little Spokane, bringing the fur trade to an established gathering place.
