This black and white photograph captures a breathtaking view of Celilo Falls on the Columbia River in Oregon. The falls are active with flowing water, and the surrounding landscape includes rocky terrain and distant hills. The image provides a glimpse of the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.Celilo Falls was one of the most significant fishing spots for Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest. The falls were submerged in 1957 due to the construction of The Dalles Dam, making this photograph a historical record of a vanished natural landmark. The Columbia River was crucial for trade and sustenance for indigenous tribes long before European exploration, making this site historically significant.Visible at the bottom of the photo is the handwritten caption: "Celilo Falls Columbia River." This text identifies the location and main subject of the photograph. No identifiable people or additional context are provided in the photograph.
