This will be in the same manner as the spring run was followed by law enforcement officials. The purpose of the escort is to ensure the salmon make it to the spawning grounds. . . Through these efforts, it is hoped that the operations will help to reduce any illegal harvest of the run.

The tribal, state and federal officers will begin w ork together in the offshore areas and continue up the Columbia River Mouth to McNary Dam. The operation will continue with the run until it reaches the dam and the count has been made which should indicate the run has returned to its spawning grounds. The Columbia River Inter- Tribal Fish Committee is informing fishermen of the law enforcement operations. It is a matter of public information and has been in news releases throughout the Northwest.

A time for sharing, remembering by Pat Leno Each summer, the Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute people of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs gather at He-He Longhouse for the annual Huckleberry Feast. This year the feast was held the first Sunday of August. Earlier, the date for the feast had been set for August 14, but the date was changed because the berries were ready to be picked earlier then originally thought. T he ceremonial pickers went out earlier in the week to gather the berries for the feast. On the. morning of the feast the cooks began preparing the many dishes for the feast. This year,. the feast was attended by several hundred people. It was a time for the people to give thanks to the Creator for the huckleberries that are an important food of the Indian people. The songs of worship, the gathering of the people and the children at play reminded many of the ways of the weeklong feasts of the past. Some reminsced of the days when the berry . gatherers camped right at He-He while they went- out each day to gather the berries. They talked of the days when each evening people gathered to dance the traditional dances. He-He held many memories for the people who gathered for the feast. Perhaps many of the old ways will not return but the ceremony of giving thanks for the berries is a custom that will be kept. It was a time for the people to give thanks not only for the huckleberries but for their families.and friends as well.
