Indians fishing at Celilo
Description
Black and white image of a group of Native Americans fishing at Celilo Falls. They are in the right foreground of the image and their backs are to the camera. They all have long poles that they are thrusting into the water. They all wear hats, several of which are tall and slightly pointed, with wide brims. They wear pants or overalls, with long-sleeved shirts. The man on the far right wears what appears to be a denim jacket. The center and left foreground of the image is the water of the falls. In the background can be seen the shore, with foothills. On the far right center of the image is a wooden structure or scaffolding.

Close-up view of Celilo Falls on Columbia River
Description
Close-up view of Celilo Falls on the Columbia River. On the morning of March 10, 1957, the massive steel and concrete gates of The Dalles Dam closed and choked back the downstream surge of the Columbia River. Six hours later and eight miles upstream, Wy-am (Celilo Falls), the age-old Indian salmon fishery was under water.
