In August 1931, a [[pow wow]] took place over the course of three days to call attention to the unfulfilled treaty agreements to the [[Wenatchi]] people, including the [[Wenatchupam Fishery]], and boost the Cashmere economy. The encampment was composed of [[tipi]]s on the land of Mary Felix, one of the few Wenatchi people living in town, in Yaksum canyon. It was estimated that nearly 700 Native Americans attended, including 250 Wenatchi who traveled from [[Colville Indian Reservation|Colville]] and [[Yakama Indian Reservation|Yakama reservations]]. Notable guests included leaders from other tribes and Governor [[Roland H. Hartley]]. Proceeds went to restore the cemetery on the other side of [[U.S. Route 2 in Washington|Highway 2]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.historylink.org/File/9147|title=Indians and non-Indians attend three-day powwow at Cashmere beginning on August 20, 1931.|website=www.historylink.org|access-date=March 27, 2019}}</ref>[[File:Street Scene, Cashmere, WA (c.1940's).jpg|thumb|left|Downtown Cashmere in the 1950s]]
