o f the flooding o f Celilo
Falls. There are many events
planned around the region to
commemorate the anniver

The Columbia River Inter-
T ribal Fish C om m ission
maintains an on-line site that
is dedicated to Celilo Falls.
You can find it at the
CRITFC
w eb site,

As stated by the fish com
mission, Celilo Falls was the
site from time immemorial
that “drove tribal economies
and created one of the West
ern Hemisphere’s great mar
ket places...”
“During high water, nearly
one m illion cubic feet of
water per second — five times
the flow of Niagara Falls —
would pass over the basalt
rocks, creating a roar that
could be heard many miles
aw ay... On the morning of
March 10, 1957, the gates of
The Dalles Dam closed and
choked back the Columbia
River. Six hours later Celilo
Falls was gone.”
The M useum at W arm
Springs is planning an exhibit,
“Remembering Celilo Falls,”
that will be featured at the
museum from June 21-Sept.

back at Celilo Falls through

voices of the elders.
