<h1><span class="date">1957: </span> <span class="title">Celilo Falls fishery, village destroyed by Dalles Dam</span></h1>
<p>Five years earlier, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers began building the Dalles Dam spanning the Columbia River. At 10 a.m. on March 10, 1957, its inch-thick reinforced steel gates crash shut, forcing a ferocious back flow that in 4½ hours floods everything in its way, including the site of the ancient village Celilo and the rocks from which tribal fishermen netted salmon. Yakama and Warm Springs fishing families are forced to relocate, away from the now-submerged river banks. A way of life is lost.</p> <!-- Theme -->
