Bazaar Foods: Film crew, family gather at Seekseequa
(Continued from page 1)
The show then progresses to the
reservation, stopping by Brigette’s
business Salmon King Fisheries at
the Warm Springs Plaza, before
moving on to Seekseequa.
At the house Brigette shows
Zimmern how to stake a salmon
fillet for cooking over the open
fire pit. The dinner segment in-
cludes a dozen or so members of
Brigette’s family.
Seated at the table in Brigette’s
grandmother’s longhouse, they
serve salmon, steelhead, coho,
sturgeon, smelt and eels. They try
dried salmon, barbecued, pulver-
ized, smoked, canned, bellies and
heads.
They have deer and elk, four
kinds of roots, huckleberries,
choke cherries, biscuits that
Brenda Scott made, and water.
Mr. Zimmern comments on the
excellence and rarity of each of
these foods.
After the visit, the episode
moves down the Columbia to the
Coast, where a segment features

the clam industry at Garibaldi. As
it turns out, the clams are har-
vested and sold as fish bait in
Alaska. Zimmern comments that
the clams could be worth a for-
tune if sold instead to restaurants,
for instance.

The Bazaar Foods segment fea-
turing Councilwoman McConville
and family came about in an in-
teresting way:
For her Salmon King business,
Brigette keeps a Facebook page.
And Bazaar Foods had been among
her followers for a number of years.
Then last March she got a call
from someone saying they were
from The Travel Channel and Ba-
zaar Foods with Andrew Zimmer n.
“I thought it was a joke,” Brigette
says.
The Bazaar Foods staff next
called the Museum at War m
Springs, and the Tribal Council of-
fice, explaining their hope to make
a show about tribal traditional foods.
At this point Brigette realized it was
a legitimate call. So she talked to
the producer, making arrangements
to meet at the Columbia near Cas-
cade Locks, where the family has
scaffolding and fishing sites.
Brigette went with daughters
Rosebud, a student at Central Or-
egon Community College, and
Annalise, sophomore at Madras
High School. The film crew shot
scenes of fishing and cooking along
the river, while the daughters got
some shots with their cell phones
of the film crew and Zimmern.
This group then traveled to the
reservation, visiting the Salmon
King shop, and on to the
Seekseequa residence. The film
crew included up to 16 people,
Brigette says:
“They were like a caravan. And
I think they were working six or
seven days a week.” The crew spent
a couple days on the reservation,
Zimmern staying in a fifth-wheel at
Seekseequa.
On hand for the dinner were
Brigette’s nephews Rolin and Neal
Morningowl, who brought their big
drum, joined by Andrew; and aunt
Edna Gonzales, sister Sara Scott,
son August Scott, nephew Justin
Miller, and cousin Leni Miller.

U.S. vs. Oregon
(Continued from page 2)
This may be the longest
standing open federal lawsuit in
the nation, demonstrating its
importance to the tribes and the
other parties, Ogan said.
In the late 1970s, at court
after the federal government
prevailed in its arguments, the
parties developed fisheries
plans of various years in dura-
tion, the longest being the cur-
rent plan.
A basic tenant of these plans
has been that the treaty rights
provide the tribes with half the
allowable catch, as set by the
state and tribes.
It may happen that all par-
ties this year agree that the cur-
rent plan should continue for
another decade, Ogan said.
This would be the best case,
giving the tribes protection of
their fisheries rights.
Tribal Council wants to meet
on U.S . vs. Oregon again in
April, as agreement on renew-
ing the current plan could be
reached by all parties in June.
The target is to have a new long-
term management plan in place
at least by the start of the 2018
fishing season, Ogan said.
