Celilo longhouse

7-16-15 was the day when we had arrived at the Celilo Longhouse to be introduced to three men and one women ( sorry for forgotten names ). Then we had sat down in the longhouse and let them talk to us about what their jobs were. What they had done for a living was to capture salmon and put navigation sensors on to be able to track their movement and also to see how they survive. One man had talked about eals and what they do look like and one other thing was how the government considers eals as trash fish and that they do not need eals. After they had got into government to talk to them about how eals are very important to the tribes that they are trying to take away from. Also right after the speeches by everybody we had decided to help out around the longhouse, so we had put some gloves on and started pulling plants that the people did not want there. Finally after yard work we all got are mattress ready and had waited for dinner. The next morning everybody had a job to do around the longhouse and me and sullyvan had cleaned the boys bathroom, then after we swept around in the kitchen.
