Friends of Celilo Falls

The Friends of Celilo Falls is a nonprofit organization based in Oregon, composed of both tribal and nontribal members dedicated to restoring and protecting the historic Celilo Falls and its surrounding cultural and archaeological areas. Their mission emphasizes the importance of stewardship over these sacred lands in collaboration with the Columbia River tribes, advocating for environmental justice and sustainable river management.

This organization aims to raise awareness about the significant historical and spiritual loss resulting from the construction of The Dalles Dam and its impacts on local Native Peoples. Through public engagement and legislative advocacy, the Friends of Celilo Falls strive to ensure that the voices of affected communities are heard in natural resource decisions and support initiatives that benefit the ecological health of the Columbia River.
