Smoke Signals 13 MAY 1,2013 LAMPREY continued from front page Kingdom visited Oregon to shoot an episode about lamprey, which survive by attaching their fang filled mouths to the sides of other fish, such as salmon. Hence, the reference to vampires. Producers contacted Tribal Public Affairs Director Siobhan Taylor for help in finding out about lamprey's historic and cultural significance, as well as the environmental threats the species currently faces. The Grand Ronde Tribe was a perfect fit. Tribal ancestors ate lam prey for its protein and fat content, and the Tribe's Natural Resources Department has been at the forefront of tracking lamprey migration routes in the Willamette River basin. The film crew shot footage at last year's Marcellus Norwest Memorial Veterans Powwow. They also filmed inside the Tribal plankhouse, talk ing with Tribal members about their knowledge of lamprey. Tribal consultants Greg Archu leta and Jordan Mercier and vol unteer Joseph Taylor prepared lamprey over a traditional fire pit behind the plankhouse. The film crew also shot footage of Tribal members at Willamette Falls, harvesting lamprey. "Going to the falls was an experi ence I won't forget and one that I felt very privileged to be part of," director Dominic Weston said in an e-mail about the experience. "Hopefully, we can do its thunder ous presence justice on screen." Other Tribal members and em ployees who participated included Eirik Thorsgard, Kelly Dirksen, Colby Drake, Lindsay Belonga, Peter and Torey Wakeland, Lisa Archuleta, Tribal Elder Kathryn Harrison, Chelsea Clark, Tynan George, Miguel Adams and Tribal Council member Chris Mercier. The Canoe Family drummed and sang at the plankhouse and Facilities and Maintenance and Natural Resource staff members helped out. In an April 11 e-mail, Weston said that the finished version includes footage of harvesting at the falls, shots from the Veterans Powwow, singing and dancing in the plank house, and the fish preparation and an interview with Greg Archuleta. "River Monsters" is in its fifth season on Animal Planet.
