Celilo Falls - Echo of Water Against Rocks


The Mighty Columbia River - 1947 Educational Documentary



Many kids growing up along the Columbia River sang Woody Guthries famous " Roll On Columbia, Roll On. Here's Woody singing the full song, with photos along the 1,200 miles of river. http://youtu.be/20ZffI6by3A

I doubt many of the kids learned all the verses, or much of the history Woody refers to of along the river. Nor much about the great salmon runs and the people who have fished them each year for thousands of years along the Columbia.
