In our ongoing pursuit o1 mental health, we
spent the weekend at CeliIo Village,
celebrating the return of the salmon w ith the
River People
I know, I know In the face of re a lity, a
spring salmon feast seems quaint
To the River People, it s a holy day A time
for the Columbia Basin tribes to gather,
renew old friendships and pray, dance to the
drums, sing the old songs, and share their
food w ith strangers Venison and elk meat,
fry bread, dried berries and roots
And, of course, the fir s t salmon, ritu a lly
caught by honored young men of the tribes
This year, things being as they are, and aren t.
the young men came back w ith a total of five
fish The salmon that fed the hundreds.
Indians and settle rs alike, came from trib a l
freezers It could be a long w inter on the
riv e r But then, it's usually the case that,
when you're hungry, the poor are more likely
to f i l l your plate than the rich Go figure A
photographer from National Geographic was
there This may not be a good sign
Three images of the weekend stand out
The fir s t, a speech in the longhouse (there are
always many) to welcome the Celilo's guests
Listen 'The government says we kille d off
the salmon It's a lie They're the ones who
b u ilt the dams and made the d r ift nets Were
the ones who pray for the salmon ’
Even the BPA would admit they have a
point
The second took place in the house of
Warner Jim , chief of the Pine Creek band of
the Yakima Indian Nation We'd come w ith our
attorney, Indian Jack Schwartz, the only
Jewish member of the Cel»Io tribe Warner
Jim isn't there, which makes me a stranger in
the house There are perhaps twenty people
spanning at least three generations living
there I haven't even closed the door when a
lit t le g irl of three comes toddling over, bright
eyed and sm iling, to o ffe r me the chicken
drumstick she's eating
The history of Indian Country is what
happened when a culture based on giving met a
culture based on taking It has yet to be
pretty
The last glimpse of Cel I Io only seems
an ticllm a tlc Sunday afternoon, not long
before leaving, I m standing outside the
longhouse, leaning against a post, smoking a
cigarette and watching the dancers fine tune
their feathers and deerskin robes for the
grand entry Boggled as always by their
beauty, I'm thinking it s no supnse National
Geographic is there taking snapshots If the
River People were a tribe in Borneo, the
Birkenstock liberals of Portland would be
outraged at their situation Enough perhaps to
w rite a le tte r
So anyway, there we are The sun is
shining, the drums are beating, the Eagle
S p irit Singers are singing the old songs A
small clutch of teenage w arriors head into
the longhouse One of them is wearing a
t-s h irt w ith a message for us all
"He who has the most toys when he
dies s t ill dies*

Swedenborg fetching home a bag of cookies

pretenders, including Clancey Sroufe before

as the celebrity

A disbelieving child looked on. stunned,

His gala birthday dinner at the Bistro
Restaurant was an occasion of great
celebration For many years George rode
shotgun w ith the garbage men of Cannon
Beach Sanitary Service Few dogs have
attained such heights
If every dog has his day, then the dogs of
Cannon Beach have had at least their share

In many ways, it appears to be the end
For the nonce, at least, and most probably
forever, salmon fishing as a way of making a
living is dead
The independent loggers are disappearing,
those that remain, as quickly as a February
snow in a Chinook wind
Suburban development in the Tualatin
basin drains the effluent from m ultiple
thousands of to ile ts and toxins from th e ir
pesticides and herbicided lawns into the
Tualatin River Meanwhile the DEQ nearly
forces a dairyman w ith 60 cows out of
business because some runoff from his
fields may enter the river
Andy Kerr, Conservation D irector for the
Oregon Natural Resources Council, te lls a
group in Lakeview they may as w e ll start
removing cattle from the range because
to u rists don't like cow manure on their
Reeboks
An alienation has divided the urban and
suburban population from the rural Those
who provide the food, fiber, building
materials, the fuels without which modern
life would be impossible, are looked upon
and often treated as if they were only venal
exploiters bound on the destruction of the
environment for personal p ro fit
The rules have changed, some say But
they are rules changed by people who enter
an unpaved area as if they were v is itin g
Disneyland and know about as much about it
as they do about the maintenance
requirements of that charming cultural
experience
We decry the disappearance of the fam ily
farm but think of such an enterprise as
something between what we see on the
"Green Acres" TV show and movies from Mr
Disney's ilk, then regulate them out of
r x is t a n c e w i t h r u le s based in a la rg e p a r t on
Ignorance and w ishful thinking
Each time I hear someone on the tube
ra g in g about an e n v iro n m e n ta l o u tra g e , I
make a lit t le bet w ith myself that the
culprit w ill be a farmer, a fisherman, a
logger, rancher or miner More often than
not I win Inevitably, in time, they,
v irtu a lly the last independent men and
women, w ill lose Yet no one w ill have even
one word to say against the ultim ate, the
single source of all pollution
I mean, of course, parenthood
