Indigenous people of North America have always had a sacred relationship with water. This two-part series shows their perspective on this most precious resource – a resource to be protected, not exploited.
Part 1 of the series tells how The Dalles Dam drowned Celilo Falls on the lower Columbia River, affecting the Nez Perce, Klickitat, and other Tribal groups and the salmon migration. In Part 2, we see how the Columbia River dams have challenged the survival of the salmon, and what has been done to mitigate the dramatic change.
