Yakima, warm springs, Umatilla, and Nez Perce all practice fishing rights. The treaty of the fishing rights for natives was June 15, 1855. Celilo falls was the biggest fishery for Native Americans. Along with people coming from around the world to come and fish at sheer falls for rainbow trout. Deschutes River canyon long been recognized as an idea hydro power location.

After making it back to the camp ground sully and I went and walked around in to woods to look for sticks that would be good to use for smores. But when we were in the woods we ran into a deer and so sully and I chased it as far as 100 yards then we stopped and started to make are way back to the camp to eat and after we all started to get ready for bed and to go to sleep.
