December 19, 2013, Ceremony of Tears – Goodbye to Kettle Falls by Maggie Crabtree
When the Grand Coulee Dam was built, the waters of the great Columbia River were backed up - all the way to the Canadian border. One of the most significant losses to the river and to the tribes who lived there were the salmon runs, and the majestic Kettle Falls, located on the river just north of the town of Kettle Falls, WA. Come hear the story of the great river, and the historic goodbye to the Salmon of the Upper Columbia.
