For thousands of years Celilo Falls on the Columbia was one of the great fishing and trading places of the continent, where routes from the coast, the plateau and the Great Basin met. The Dalles Dam flooded the falls in 1957.

Which trails led to Celilo, and how do the tribes of the Columbia remember them?
