Highberg, "Orchard Prairie: The first hundred years, 1879-1979"

[Tina Wynecoop]

Which name you mention in your post (Cluyah), if I am not mistaken, means "butterfly" and is a Flathead Salish surname.  One of my former students has the English version for her last name...and then there are some of th Kalsipells who use the other spelling...  
There is a Stoneman Road on Peone Prairie...very near the infamous, still standing, Treaty Tree.
 

One of Nina Stonemen's family, John Stoneman, made his home at Dartford, he would wait to share his stories with a young runner whom he would flag down named Jim Tomeo ( a direct decendent of Kamiakin.) Tomeo still lives along a little tributary creek on Dartford Drive.  He is of Colville/Palouse tribes.  Dartford (just north of Spokane on the Little Spokane River) was a thriving little town at the turn of the century. Dartford was also the site of Joseph's camp when he would travel between Lapwai and Nespelem. Three baby boards were placed up in trees in this middle reach of the Little Spokane river ..."burials" as it were. There is so much of cultural significance on this landscape.  People in the area probably tire of my efforts to inform them that there were others who lived here before the pioneers displaced them and the ubiquitous housing developments popped up everywhere.
 
I see that Sally Thompson is speaking at the Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane on March 6:

"Occasionally in life there are those moments of 
unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely
explained by those symbols called words.  Their
meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible
language of the heart."                     ~MLK
