Celilo Falls

exactly.

Celilo Falls, we're so sorry.

Maybe one day we'll get it back, but probably not.

Yeah, so the energy, you know, we all consume energy.

The Columbia itself was smooth enough, yet the voyage had its hardships.

At Celilo Falls, again at the Dales, and again at the Cascade Rapids, they had to carry their boats and all their baggage, and the tribes here were not so friendly as the Shoshones and Flatheads and Nez Percés had been.

They were more degraded, living idle lives, depending on fish and on the trading which passed through their hands.

The Indians above traded buffalo meat, dried or jerked, and pemmican with the Indians of the lower river for dried fish.

But it was hard work all the way up the river, and they went up hundreds of miles.

Above the Willamette, where the current was swift, they had to keep close in shore and drag the canoes from point to point by the bushes and overhanging trees.

At the Cascades they had to make a portage, or a carry, as well as at the Dales, and again at Celilo Falls, because at these places the river was so swift and so rough they could not go upstream.

And they had to unload their canoes, carry the goods overland, and the canoes as well, at these portages, in a land of thievish Indians who tried constantly to steal small parcels of goods which they would rip out of the bales.
