Here, the map is zoomed into the Oregon Country and the tentative border between US and British territory at the 49th parallel. 5 Figure 2. The Dalles Rapids, passing through the tight channel that became known as the Narrows. Photograph by Carleton E. Watkins, ca. 1882. 11 Figure 3. Upper Cascades Rapids. Photograph by Carleton E. Watkins, 1882. 12 Figure 4. In his 1844 map of the Pacific Northwest, Charles Wilkes shows the Columbia River and the approximate range of Indigenous people over the area, categorized by language grouping. The Chinookan people occupied the banks of the lower Columbia River, while the Walla Walla, or Sahaptin-speaking people, lived along the mid-Columbia. 13 Figure 5. Benjamin A. Gifford, “Middle Cascades, Columbia River,” ca. 1906. 38 Figure 6. Charles Wilkes included an insert in his 1844 map of the Pacific Northwest that detailed landscape features, hydrological hazards, and Indigenous villages along the Columbia River. This section shows the Columbia River from the Snake River Confluence to the Deschutes River Confluence. 41 Figure 7. The section of river just downstream from the John Day River confluence had sand dunes on its southern bank. Photograph by Albert Henry Barnes, ca. 1913. 43 COLUMBIA RIVER NARRATIVE HISTORY iii Figure 8. William Clark drew sketches of the Columbia River at (listed clockwise, starting with the upper left): the mouth of the Umatilla River, between the Umatilla and John Day Rivers, the mouth of the John Day River, and the mouth of the Deschutes River. On all four maps, Clark indicated where Indigenous people lived with the notation “Lodges” (often with an accompanying number) or “Indian lodges,” and he also used triangles to represent lodges. These drawings indicate that the banks of this stretch of river were heavily populated by Indigenous people. 1805. 44 Figure 9. Remnant wagon ruts from the Oregon Trail, descending from a hill at present-day Biggs Junction. 53 Figure 10. A steamship travels through Wallula Gap. Photograph by Asahel Curtis, 1915. 60 Figure 11. Segment of Charles Wilkes’s 1844 drawing of the Columbia River on his map of the Pacific Northwest. Here, the drawing is zoomed in to the stretch of river from Celilo Falls through the Columbia River Narrows (also known as the Dalles Rapids). 63 Figure 12. The USACE drew this sketch of the Columbia River between Celilo Falls and The Dalles in 1913. While it includes some things that were nonexistent in the early 1800s (a railroad and a canal), it provides a detailed and useful drawing of the hydrological features in this stretch of river. 65 Figure 13. Celilo Falls was the second-greatest obstruction to waterborne travel on the Columbia River. The banks around it were important fishing and trading sites for Indigenous people across the region, ca. 1910. 66 Figure 14. This painting, completed in 1884 by John E. Stuart, depicts a Sahaptin summer fishing village near Celilo Falls. The image depicts post-contact life through the eyes of Stuart, a White artist, but it gives some indication of what nineteenth-century Sahaptin fishing camps might have been like. 67 Figure 15. William Clark drew the Short and Long Narrows after passing through the area in 1805. Note Celilo Falls at the upper left-hand corner, followed by a pool ahead of the Short Narrows, another pool ahead of the Long Narrows, and then Big Eddy on the north side of the river. The present-day town of The Dalles is located near the mouth of the creek that runs into the Columbia River at the bottom righthand corner of this image. 69 Figure 16. The Narrows, or the Dalles Rapids, looking downstream with Mount Hood in the background. Carleton E. Watkins, ca. 1882. 70 Figure 17. The Dalles Rapids, looking upstream. Stereoview by Carleton E. Watkins, 1867. 71 Figure 18. Seasonal Indigenous fishing village at the head of the Narrows (upper middle of image). Cropped from photograph by Carleton E. Watkins, ca. 1882. 72 Figure 19. William Clark drew Celilo Falls after passing it in 1805. He notes “Portage 120 yards” around the falls on the north side of the river, and a large village of the “E-nee-sher Nation” (likely Tenino people, who were Sahaptin-speaking) on the north side of the river, before the falls. 74 Figure 20. The Dalles and Celilo Railroad, constructed by the OSNC in 1863, ran between the town of The Dalles and Celilo Falls along approximately the same route as Indigenous portage trails. Carleton E. Watkins, 1867. 83 Figure 21. Segment of Charles Wilkes’s 1844 drawing of the Columbia River from his map of the Pacific Northwest. This section shows the stretch of river from the bottom of the Narrows (or Dalles Rapids) to the upper end of the Cascades Rapids. 87 Figure 22.

Any republication, retransmission, reproduction, or sale of all or part of this curriculum is prohibited. Introduction Welcome to the Grand Ronde Tribal History curriculum unit. We are thankful that you are taking the time to learn and teach this curriculum to your class. This unit has truly been a journey. It began as a pilot project in the fall of 2013 that was brought about by the need in Oregon schools for historically accurate and culturally relevant curriculum about Oregon Native Americans and as a response to countless requests from Oregon teachers for classroom- ready materials on Native Americans. The process of creating the curriculum was a Tribal wide effort. It involved the Tribe’s Education Department, Tribal Library, Land and Culture Department, Public Affairs, and other Tribal staff. The project would not have been possible without the support and direction of the Tribal Council. As the creation was taking place the Willamina School District agreed to serve as a partner in the project and allow their fourth grade teachers to pilot it during the 2013-2014 academic year. It was also piloted by one teacher from the Pleasant Hill School District. Once teachers began implementing the curriculum, feedback was received regarding the effectiveness of lesson delivery and revisions were made accordingly. The teachers allowed Tribal staff to visit during the lessons to observe how students responded to the curriculum design and worked after school to brainstorm new strategies for the lessons and provide insight from the classroom teacher perspective.

    Overview of Wheat Movement on the Columbia River Report Prepared August 17, 2016 All data based on five year averages (2011-2015) The Columbia-Snake River grain handling system includes: o 7 grain export terminals. o 26 up-country grain barge loading terminals along 360 miles of navigable river. o Eight dams that lift a barges a combined 735 feet. o 80 barges controlled by two companies (Shaver and Tidewater). The seven export terminals on the Columbia River annually export 26.5 MMT of grain, including 11.7 MMT of wheat. This makes the Columbia River the third largest grain export corridor in the world behind the Mississippi River and the Parana River in South America. Grain exports from the Columbia River continue to grow each year. Every year approximately 4.0 MMT of wheat, largely Soft White, is shipped down the Columbia River via barge from the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This is equivalent to: o 34% of all wheat exports from the Columbia River. o 15% of all grain exports from the Columbia River. o 15% of all wheat exported from the United States. o 70% of all wheat exported from the Pacific Northwest. o 50% of all wheat produced in the Pacific Northwest. The wheat moved by barge is largely sourced from the upper river system. o 18% from between Bonneville Dam and McNary Dam. o 36% from between McNary Dam and Lower Monumental Dam. o 46% from between Lower Monumental Dam and Lewiston, Idaho. o 54% of the wheat moved by barge moves through one or more of the four Lower Snake River dams.
