Celilo Legacy
The planning for the Celilo Village’s Celilo Commemoration is now in its final two weeks. The schedule is filling up fast with tribal, state, and government officials, including the area’s chiefs, chairmen and chairwomen from the area’s tribes, Oregon’s Governor Ted Kulongoski, and US Army Corps of Engineers General Strock.
After the honoring ceremony and salmon dinner, there will be a traditional memorial for Celilo Falls, including a giveaway. Check back for more information and events as the anniversary approaches. You can also help make this event a reality by visiting www.celilowyam.org and making an online, tax-deductible donation by clicking on the “Donate” button in the upper right-hand corner.
