The dam was completed in 1957-- flooding Celilo Falls where for a thousand years Native Americans fished and traded with others from large parts of what is now the US. The structure in the foreground is one of the remaining buildings from the historic Shaker Indian Fishing Village--Built in the 1890s. The remains have been listed in the National Historic Register since the 1970's, but there has been no real effort to maintain the site. Not much is left. Tomorrow -- the bridge over to the Washington side.

The dam is impressive but I am sorry that the Shaker Indian Fishing Village has been left to decay.

El viaje continua siendo apasionante
Bill, is there any way for salmon to get up river from here? This dam must have changed the ecology of the area. One might think there was funds to maintain historic sites like this one.
That's a great dam and lovely capture with your art work, well done.
