tour of the Priest Rapids develop
ment under construction by Grant
County Public Utility district.
It is a very large structure, ex
tending 20 feet below the water
level on the Columbia, located 24 I
miles below Vantage and 200
miles downstream from Grand
Coulee dam.
I
The dam is a reinforced con
crete and earthfill structure and
its overall length is 10,138 feet. I
The contractor was permitted 1900 I
calendar days from July 9, 1956, I
to complete the job. Official dedi- I
cation was held June 2 of this I
year.
I
Rapids Named After Indians
I
The name Priest Rapids is de- I
rived from the ancient religious I
leaders of the Wanapum Indians I
or River People. For untold cen- I
turies the Wanapums lived along I
the shores of the Columbia, from I
Pasco to Vantage with their main I
winter camp at Priest Rapids.
I
At one time their tribe number- I
ed 2500, but today only four mem- I
bers of the band survive. They I
are Frank Buck, Rex Buck, Harry I
Wyena and Bobby Tomanawash. I
The first three are employed by I
the utility district at Priest Rap- I
ids dam and live on the west side I
of the river in houses provided by I
the district. The latter is now in I
the U. S. Army.
I
Treaty Never Signed
|
This group of Indians never
fought the whites, so never signed
a treaty. The district fenced in
their burial grounds and set aside
another location for their log
house used for religious ceremo-
nies.
Indian legends tell of the time
when “the air was filled with fire
and ashes” and another relates
“how water overran the land.”
Still another tells how “the wind
came with talons that tore the
earth and crushed the forgetful
ones.”
The Wanapums were very fair
in their attitude toward building
of the dam. They realize that
progress is inevitable and they
did not attempt to halt construc
tion in any way.
