‘Salmon Wars’ bonus episode: Celilo memories – OPB
The “Salmon Wars” podcast series tells the story of salmon in the Northwest in a way you haven’t heard before — through the voices of one Yakama Nation family who have been fighting for salmon for generations.
We hear the voices of tribal elders who remember Celilo Falls before the Dalles Dam silenced this sacred fishing spot. Many of the voices you hear in this episode were shared, with permission, by Confluence. Confluence is a nonprofit focused on the Columbia River system. The organization has collected oral histories from Native people, many of whom remember Celilo Falls before the dam.
Our theme music is by Kele Goodwin and Sean Ogilvie.
