No, the Yakama Nation is merely a Native America group.
its a city my dad has been there
Absolutely. It's located in the Yakima Valley, WA. The city name originated from the Yakama Nation, the first inhabitants of Yakima Valley, who were moved to a reservation located SSW of the city.
According to Sahaptin Noun Dictionary (Yakama Dialect), at www.native-languages.org, 'Yakama' means 'big belly.'
As of 2021, the Yakama Tribe has around 11,000 enrolled members.

The Yakama people spoke Yakama, which is a northwestern dialect of Sahaptin, a Sahaptian language of the Plateau Penutian family.Since the late 20th century, some native speakers have argued to use the traditional Yakama name for this language, Ichishkíin Sínwit. The tribal Cultural Resources program wants to replace the word Sahaptin, which means "stranger in the land".Today, there are less than 90 native speakers of Yakama.
The Yakama Indians were the original inhabitants of the Northwest region of the United States. The Yakama currently live on a reservation in Washington state.
