Opinion
Mischaracterization of history of Falls
This opinion article was
submitted to The Portland
Tribute by Raymond
Tsumpti, chair of the Con-
federated Tribes of Warm
Springs; Delores Pigsley,
chair of the Confederated
Tribes of Siletz; N.
Kathryn Brigham, chair of
the Confederated Tribes of
Umatilla; and Delano
Saluskin, chair of the Con-
federated Tribes and Bands
of Yakama Nation:
In a recent article—
‘Willamette Falls Trust
apologizes for harming
tribes’—there was a
mischaracterization of
the tribal history and re-
lationships to the Falls of
the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs, Siletz
Indians, the Umatilla and
Yakama Nation.
The article inadvert-
ently advanced a false
narrative that the Grand
Ronde Tribe is the only
tribe with historic, cultural
and legal interests in
Willamette Falls, and that
other tribes only visited
with their permission
and sufferance.
This could not be fur-
ther from the truth. Many
different Indian bands
and tribes stewarded and
made use of the Falls for
thousands of years, in-
cluding the ancestors of
our four tribal nations.
Willamette Falls was an
Indian gathering place,
similar to Celilo Falls.
Our tribes met there to
harvest, trade, visit and
even intermarry.
The Indians who were
signatories to the ratified
1855 Treaty of Kalapuya
were removed to the Siletz
Reservation and the Grand
Ronde reservations. Indians
at the Falls who came from
the east were removed to
several reser vations, but
preserved in three other rati-
fied 1855 treaties their rights
to continue to fish at all
usual and accustomed fish-
ing places, however distant
from those reservations. Al-
though our ancestors came
from many places, we are
now identified by the reser-
vations they were moved to:
War m Springs, Siletz,
Umatilla, Yakama and
Grand Ronde.
The Treaty Tribes work
together on issues of mu-
tual interest on the
Willamette River and at
Willamette Falls specifically.
Recent examples include the
cleanup of the Portland
Harbor Superfund site,
Portland General Electric
FERC licensing processes
and the Willamette Falls
Locks Commission.
Even more recently, Con-
gress recognized the inter-
ests of these tribes, not just
Grande Ronde, in protect-
ing salmon and restoring eco-
logical balance to the
Willamette River in and
around Willamette Falls.
The Grand Ronde Tribe’s
strategy of exclusion of our
Tribes insults the history of
our Tribes, especially after
our Tribes banded together,
at their request, to support
the Grand Ronde Tribe’s re-
establishment in 1986
through Congress.
We stood with the Grand
Ronde Tribe in its time
of critical need. Sadley,
not long after correcting
a historic injustice to the
Grand Ronde people,
they chose to disprespect
our effort through a sig-
nificantly funded media
campaign designed to
remove our histories at
the Falls.
Your editors should
have done additional in-
vestigation when the
Grand Ronde Tribe de-
clared its intent to ex-
clude other tribes, claim-
ing that “other tribal”
representation on the
Willamette Falls Trust
Board would somehow
‘under mine’ Grand
Ronde. This claim stands
far from the truth. Our
collective efforts have
always made us stronger
in the protection of
natural resources.
Conversely,
the
Willamette Falls Trust
Board strives to under-
stand the complex nature
of Willamette Falls and
are interested in inclusion
and collaboration to
share the full story.
Our past, as well as
our future, are united by
Willamette Falls.
The Willamette Falls
should be protected for
the natural and cultural
resources it possesses,
our shared history it rep-
resents, and should be
restored and enjoyed by
all rather than subject to
commercial develop-
ment for any one entity’s
gain.
Awareness Month sheds light on survirors
by Liz Hill, Red Lake Ojibwe
StrongHearts Native Helpline
Every October during
Domestic Violence Aware-
ness Month, advocates and
communities across Indian
Country rally together to
honor survivors of domes-
tic violence and support
abuse prevention.
In 2020, StrongHearts
Native Helpline once again
calls on advocates, tribal
leaders, reservation and ur-
ban Indian community mem-
bers, service providers and
Native organizations to sup-
port the movement to pre-
vent and end domestic vio-
lence, which disproportion-
ately affects millions of
Natives every year.
Violence against Indig-
enous peoples began with
European contact and has
continued to this day, add-
ing up to more than 500
years of abuse. Domestic
violence, which continues as
a tool of colonization, rep-
resents a lack of respect for
Native peoples.
Native women and men
in the United States experi-
ence domestic violence at
alarming rates, with more
than four in five Natives
having experienced some
form of violence in their
lifetime and more than half
experiencing physical vio-
lence by an intimate partner
in the past year.

cacy, see:

Or call 1-844-7NATIVE
(762-8483).
Domestic violence has
many faces: physical, sexual,
emotional, cultural, financial
and digital. It doesn’t discrimi-
nate and includes violence
against children, elders,
LGBTQ2S individuals.
There is also a strong con-
nection between domestic
violence and thousands of
Missing and Murdered In-
digenous women.
Native nations in the
Lower 48 and Alaska Na-
tive Villages continually go
underfunded for life saving
domestic violence services.
Now in its fourth year of
operation, StrongHearts
has received more than
9,103 phone calls and
online chats.
