 Celilo
Park, across the freeway from Celilo Village will be the setting for the
Wy·Kan·Ush·Pum Village. This village will be set up
on the banks of the Columbia River and include at least a several tepees
and a canvas longhouse. Inside the longhouse will be tribal, museum, and
environmental organization exhibits highlighting the history and importance
of Celilo Falls, tribal salmon culture, and Columbia River health. By learning
more about tribal salmon culture and the important fishing site that was
Celilo Falls, we hope to encourage visitors to explore how salmon affect
all our lives today and to prevent the kind of environmental and cultural
destruction exemplified by the inundation of Celilo Falls from ever happening
again. |
