Columbia Basin Native Fishery

This website provides current and historical context on the importance of fish harvest to First Nations people, including the effects of dams.

“The side navigational bar takes you the documents that provide the foundation for Indian fishing rights such as treaties and court cases in both the U.S. and Canada. Use these documents to answer the ‘questions to consider.’ Other sections address treaty harvest rights, dams and their effects on the native fishery, and traditional fishing methods. Go to the photo archive to see all of the photographs used in this Web site. The table of contents provides a visual map of the entire site. Visit the acknowledgments page to see who contributed to this site.” (Taken from homepage.)
