Few rivers in the Northwest mattered as much to its first peoples as the Columbia, and this picture turns on the people working along its water rather than on the landscape alone. Nations such as the Nez Perce, Yakama, and Wasco fished the river for salmon for thousands of years, and their fishing sites, including Celilo Falls, were central to their food, trade, and seasonal life. Photographers who visited the Columbia in the late 1800s and early 1900s often recorded these scenes, sometimes with little attention to the communities' own accounts. Such images now serve as a record of a way of life that changed sharply after dams flooded many traditional fishing grounds.
