Peone Prairie is named for that tribe (as I know Charles knows, but as general interest), and the area is located about 8-10 miles NE of the city of Spokane. I don't remember which of the Catholic priests were particularly associated with the Peone Indians, but it was either Father DeSmet or Father Cataldo (I seem to think it was DeSmet). At any rate, DeSmet and Cataldo, Idaho were both named for these Roman Cathlic priests, as well as some other historic locations around the region. FYI.
