Sahaptin (or Shahaptin) is a language family that includes the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Palouse, Tenino, Cayuse, Klickitats, Wanapums, Walla Walla and Yakama (or Yakima). They were very widespread but historically mainly occupied territory in western Idaho and neighbouring parts of Washington and north-eastern Oregon, including the Snake, Salmon and Clearwater rivers.

The Yakama lived in south-central Washington state; they were the westernmost of all the Sahaptin tribes.

Are the sierra cascade and the cascade mountains two different things in Washington?

Not sure about "Sierra" Cascades; not familiar with them. However, the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington State is commonly considered that range that divides western WA from Eastern WA. Running therefore North-South and basically leaving about one third of the state on the west side and two thirds on the East. If you haven't noticed the west is not getting capitalized and the WEST is! We on the East side like to call our side the GREAT STATE OF EASTERN WASHINGTON! Hope this helps. Kevin
