Description
Two roughly built fishing platforms hang on stilts above the mighty Columbia River. The River is gray under cloudy skies and roiled by strong winds blowing up the Columbia River Gorge. The platforms are used by indigenous people using nets on long poles to catch salmon swimming upriver to spawn. Fishing rights below the Bonneville Dam are reserved for the Umatilla, Warm Springs, Yakama, and Nez Perce tribes by Federal Court decisions and the Columbia River Inter-tribal Fish Commission CRIFC.
