Sockeye added to harvest
Add sockeye to the 2004
Columbia River Indian salmon
harvest. With the tenth largest
sockeye run returning to the
Columbia basin since 1960, the
Warm Springs, Yakama,
Umatilla and Nez Perce have
authorized over-the-bank sales.
The current summer com
mercial tribal harvest - most
prominently including sockeye,
chinook and steelhead - ends
July 31. The bulk of sockeye
sales will wind up during the next
two weeks.
Sales will be at points along

Student uncovers ancient
figurine during dig
MEDFORD (AP) - At first,
archaeological student Christian
Solfisburg figured he'd unearthed
yet another rock during a dig in
the upper Rogue River drainage.
But then he looked closer.
Actually, he'd found a ce
ramic figurine of a human, bro
ken off at the waist with two
small arms, its facial features
worn away by time.
The figurine was likely fash
ioned centuries ago by Ameri
can Indians.
"It may not look like much,
but it is the most complete figu
rine found in this region so far,"
said Mark Tveskov, associate
professor of anthropology at
Southern Oregon University,
which sponsors an annual ar
chaeological field school, along
with the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management.
Tveskov told the Medford
Mail-Tribune that it isn't yet
known what the clay figure was
used for.
"There isn't a lot of infor
mation in Indian oral tradition
about these kinds of figurines,"
he told the newspaper. "It could
be anything from a toy to a real
sacred object. We don't really
know.
He believes the site, about
1,500 years old, was a seasonal

Sockeye salmon, which typi
cally return from the sea to
freshwater in June through mid
July, boasted historical runs as
large as 3 million fish. Biologists
predict this year's run of about
115,000 sockeye will comprise
the tenth largest since 1960 and
the second largest in a decade.
Tribal fishers, however, plan a
limited harvest of a little more
than 8,000 sockeye.

In addition to the figurine

Fish sales through July
With a record run of sum
mer chinook salmon returning
to the Columbia River basin,
fishers from the Warm Springs,
Yakama, Umatilla, Nez Perce
tribes are gearing up for over-the-bank
public sales from now
through July 31.
Tribal fishers are selling the
fish at points along the Colum
bia River banks in areas includ
ing Marine Park in Cascade
Locks; Lone Pine in The Dalles;
North Bonneville, a mile east of
Bonneville Dam; and Columbia
Point in Washington's Tri-Cities
area. Fishers will not sell sock
eye salmon at this time, but tribal
officials may authorize sockeye
sales in the near future.

103,000 summer Chinook will
comprise the third largest since
at least 1957.
Tribal fishers, however, plan
a limited harvest of a little more
than 5,000 summer Chinook.
"We're still in a conservative
harvest framework,'' said fish
ery scientist Stuart Ellis of the
Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Commission. "But this
year's summer Chinook run pro
vides enough fish to allow some
reasonable opportunities."

reflects age-old traditions ce

prominently in native culture.
