SUMMARY:Sense of Place: Crisis on the Columbia: Native-White Alliances
DESCRIPTION:At mid-century\, the Native fishing community of Celilo Village was in crisis. Large dams\, a highway widening\, and federal policies of termination and relocation conspired to remove Indian people from a place their families had occupied for more than 12\,000 years. Stepping into this maelstrom were two women from very different backgrounds. Together\, they forged an alliance that made a difference.\n\nFlora Thompson\, along with her husband Chief Tommy Thompson\, had fought to protect fish drying sheds\, fishing stations\, and Celilo Village homes for decades. Joining her was Martha McKeown\, a high school English teacher\, community activist\, and author of several local histories\, including two children's stories about the Thompsons. Their remarkable friendship can be traced through dozens of letters recently unearthed in the University of Oregon archives. Their intertwined story illustrates the importance of cross-cultural alliances at a transformative period in NW history.
