Native Americans fishing at Celilo Falls circa. 1928

9305-A4309. Overview of Indians fishing at Horseshoe falls, in Celilo Falls. Taken about 1928, before the view became cluttered with numerous cables strung between the seven principal islands in Celilo Falls. View from the Oregon shore and looking west. On the left is Chinook rock and the footbridge to it. Behind it is Standing island, Chief island and the main falls. In the center is Horseshoe falls and behind it is the Albert islands. On the extreme right, Indians are fishing in Downes channel. In the foreground are Yakama Indian fishing platforms. Every year in October these would be dismantled and stored until they could be reassembled the following year.
