United By Water – Culture, Fish, and a River

Join the Coalition for the Deschutes and Trout Unlimited Deschutes Redbands for a showing of the new film, United by Water, followed by a panel discussion with tribal members.

The film, narrated by Sherman Alexie, tells the story of the Upper Columbia tribal communities’ journey to their ancestors’ fishing site for the first time in 80 years. In 1940, the tribes held a Ceremony of Tears to mark the loss of the fishing site before it was drowned by the Grand Coulee Dam.
