Grand Coulee and the Forgotten Tribe

For thousands of years, the Spokane River was the lifeblood of the Spokane Tribe of Indians. When Grand Coulee Dam was completed in 1942, Lake Roosevelt was created, covering traditional fishing sites, burial grounds, and sacred cultural gathering places. There were no options for the people of the Spokane Tribe and no options for the salmon, which were blocked by the dam. For nearly 70 years, the Spokane Tribe of Indians has been negotiating with the federal government over the tribe's losses due to Grand Coulee Dam.
