Abstract
"Priest Rapids are the longest stretch of the roughest water along the thousand mile run of the Columbia River from its fountainhead in Canada. They are inhabited by the remnant band of the most peaceful Indians who ever resided along that stream, the Wanapums of Priest Rapids people. The rapids extend for 11 miles through some of the most desolate country traversed by the river, and the remnant band of Indians, still live along that section of the mighty stream, a forgotten people. When Congress completed action this week on a bill that Hal Holes (R-Wash.) promulgated to help implement construction of $364 million worth of hydroelectric dam construction, new history was written there."
