Personally, I think the WA dlr should change it's name. Pretty offensive!!!!
Maybe it's an honorific, used for the same reasons (presumably) that you yourself chose for your screen name a word with similar ethnic background/origins?
The word “tucquala” comes from the Yakima language and means “fish”—most specifically, small fish, like trout that teem in the clear waters of the valley. The Yakima tribe visited these meadows annually to fish the rich waters of the Cle Elum River, until the early 1990s. They also came to burn the hills, to encourage the blueberries and fodder-rich meadows that attracted elk and deer.
