| Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation |
 Generations before the advance of the modern world, the
lands of the Yakama extended in all directions along the
Cascade Mountain Range to the Columbia River and beyond.
We considered it land given in trust by the Creator for the
use of the living and a heritage to be held and
protected for unborn generations. more... |

| Celilo Falls |
 Celilo Falls, located on the Columbia river east of The Dalles, Oregon, was
a well known trading area & sacred fishing grounds of our people. Celilo
Falls was flooded in 1957 with the completion of the The Dalles Dam. The
Federal Government's decision to build the dam disregarded the ancient
fishing grounds and the W'yam people's opposition. Our museum recreated
the ancient setting of Celilo Falls. We show a young man learning his
lessons about the river from his father. |
