- Description:
- The Yakima Indians are appealing to Honorable Carl Albert to save their fishing rights at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River, which are guaranteed in a treaty from 1855. They argue that the construction of a dam at The Dalles, Oregon will destroy their fishing locations and have a negative impact on their welfare and economy. They believe that the dam is unnecessary and should be discontinued to preserve their rights and way of life.
