19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Traditional Fishing

The Columbia Gorge is one of Pacific Northwest's greatest natural wonders. During certain times of the year, the sunsets along this dramatic landscape can yield spectacular color. It was during one of these sunsets that a Native American father was teaching his two sons the traditional method of fishing. Native People depended on the mighty Columbia River for Salmon and Sturgeon which are integral to the Tribes culture and religion.
