In the record
The United States made 2 treaties and agreements that name Walla Walla as a party, from Treaty of Walla Walla (Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla), 1855 to Treaty with the Tribes of Middle Oregon (Warm Springs), 1855.
One court case turned on its rights: Sohappy v. Smith (Belloni decision).
The records group it with Chiricahua Apache and Confederated Tribes of Middle Oregon. Today, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon carry this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
