Native tribal legends, stories and ceremonies pay tribute to the salmon as one of the most important natural resources in existence. The salmon is one of the ‘First Foods’ of the Plateau Tribes. It is considered ceremonial food for almost every occasion. Many tribes refer to the salmon as the Ancient Ones. For thousands of years, Native American culture resonated throughout the Mid-Columbia Basin as numerous tribes came together peacefully to fish, trade, and socialize. The flooding of Celilo Falls in 1957 eliminated important fishing grounds for many Indian tribes that relied upon the salmon caught at Celilo Falls. The historical trauma created by flooding Celilo is still fresh in the minds and hearts of the People whose culture and economy was central to the river.
