Abstract
For hundreds of years Celilo Falls on the Columbia River had been the most important Indian fishing area in the Pacific Northwest and one of the most important native trading centers in North America. When the U.S. government completed The Dalles Dam in 1956, its flood waters inundated Celilo. This exhibit, based on collections at Washington State University's Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC), features early documents as well as photographs and film footage from the 1930s to the 1950s, capturing the twilight era of fishing at Celilo Falls.
