Native Americans fishing at Horseshoe Falls 1936

9305-B7328. Indians fishing at Horseshoe Falls, Celilo. These Indians are using stationary nets, rather than movable ones. They are holding the strings attached to their net to let them know when a fish lands, when they quickly pull the net out of the river. The board and pulley beside the Indian hanging over the platform edge supports the wire that holds the net hoop. May 1936
