Looking back to Celilo Falls through memories, images
and the voices of our elders.
Exhibit through September 9, 2007 at
Warm Springs
Museum, Warm Springs, Oregon
Celebrate the ancient ways of the tribes in their rock fishing at
Celilo Falls near The Dalles, Oregon and in navigating the Columbia
River in high-prowed Chinookan canoes.
Almost 100 years ago the Warm Springs, the Wasco, and the Northern
Paiute tribes built distinctly different dugout and tule reed canoes.
The spectacular salmon fishing at
Celilo Falls ended when The Dalles Dam
was built in the late 1950's.
