The way the weather is acting 2 r 0
here lately a person would think
Autum is about to arrive as the day's
have been a bitcoolcrthan usual. As
they say, "Summer Time, when the
living is easy." Them days have
already passed and we must look
forward to fall and winter. Pretty
soon everyone will be complaining
about the cold weather. The past
few months its been that heat, which
makes things miserable. Well, no
one will ever completely be satis
fied with what kind of weather we
have.
Now that the fishing season is
under way once again for a few days
we should reflect back to the days
when a person could sec salmon
jumping all over the place at the
Cclilo Falls about this time of the year. The abundance of salmon that
passed up the river them days arc now gone. The Dams and pollution from
all the up stream activities cause most of the depletion of the salmon runs
and they balme the Indians for distinction of the fish runs.
Tourists used to gather by the thousands to watch the Indians fish at the
famous Cclilo Falls, during the annual fall runs in the past
Never being a fisherman in the past but kept in tact with interest as the
Indian tribes from the northwest gathered each year at the Cclilo Falls. It
was amazing to ride those cable boxes across to those islands where most
of the fishing was done. On the way over to the islands the boxes would
be high over the water and you could look right down where the water went
rumbling over the falls, sometimes a bit scary but yet exciting to be there.
In the evening when everyone was returning back for the night those
boxes would be full of fish and when it was about halfway across the whole
box would hit the water as the people on them boxes got their feet all wet
Now that was real scary to be going over those falls with a load of fish,
but it would feel good when the box would rise out of the water again and
on its way to the un-loading zone.
But once the run was past the fishing was done as it was real slow to
catch those stragglers coming up the stream. During those big runs the
bucks really came rolling in for some guys that had the good fishing places.
Yep! there are many tales to be told of the old fishing grounds of the past
There are some who even remember, "Salmon Head Beech." Some of
those days were the real "Gook-Ole-Day's."
Toon-Un-Cha...Well, the cool weather is helping the firefighters here
in the Northwest as the fire season nears its end also. We sure needed some
moisture during the summer months but never saw a drop of rain at all. The
fire season is in no means over yet as it can still get a pretty good blaze a
going. Just like last week where The Chief Nelson Wallulatum lost his
whole place. Home and all the structures around there. Yep! Fire is nothing
to mess around with. Itcould bum the shirt right off your back if you don't
watch out There is some moisture falling in the highcrelevations to slow
the fire season down al little. Just think of all those acres of land that went
up in smoke last summer, where even the Kah-Nce-Ta Resort was
threatened. People evacuated out of their homes and all. Warm Springs
was seen all across the nation on the CNN news. There have been several
fires that have threatened homes in the area this year. We've been lucky
to have not lost many structures so far.
Well, The Confederated Tribes of Warm springs are hosting the
Affilliated Tribes of Northwest Indians 1994 Annual Conference this year
