Dredging the #ColumbiaRiver at the expense of tribal and aquatic communities
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has transformed the estuary and robbed the river of sediment over the last century.
Josephine Woolington June 1, 2026
"Grand Ronde’s elected officials said they were not consulted during planning for the proposed dredge project, George said. In a written statement, the Corps did not acknowledge this but said that it is committed to “conducting robust, meaningful government-to-government consultation with all federally recognized tribes.”#Riverkeepers #WaterIsLife #Chinookan #ChinookNation #Oregon #KellyPoint #PNW #WashingtonState #YakamaNation #CRITFC #IndigenousFoods #RiverPlants #ChinookSalmon #ColumbiaRiverkeepers #ColumbiaRiverBasin #nativeAmericans #NativeAmericanNews

Trump Cancels Deal With Tribes to Restore #ColumbiaRiverSalmon
"Less than two years ago, the administration of President Joe Biden announced what tribal leaders hailed as an unprecedented commitment to the Native tribes whose ways of life had been devastated by federal dam-building along the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
"The deal, which took two years to negotiate, halted decades of lawsuits over the harm federal dams had caused to the salmon that had sustained those tribes culturally and economically for thousands of years. To enable the removal of four hydroelectric dams considered especially harmful to salmon, the government promised to invest billions of dollars in alternative energy sources to be created by the tribes.
"It was a remarkable step following repeated failures by the government to uphold the tribal fishing rights it swore in treaties to preserve.
"The agreement is now just another of those #BrokenPromises.
"President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday pulling the federal government out of the deal. Trump’s decision halted a government-wide initiative to restore abundant salmon runs in the Columbia and Snake rivers and signaled an end to the government’s willingness to consider removing dams that blocked their free flow."
