Oregon State University Press, 2007. Softcover. Very Good. 5x0x8. In Very Good+ condition. Empty Nets is a disturbing history of broken promises and justice delayed. It chronicles a native peopleâs fight to maintain their livelihood and culture in the face of an indifferent federal bureaucracy and hostile state governments. In 1939, the U.S. Government promised to provide Columbia River Indians with replacements for traditional fishing sites flooded in the backwater of the Bonneville Dam. Roberta Ulrich recounts the Indiansâ sixty year struggle, in the courts and on the river, to persuade the government to keep its promise. From the beginning, the battle was intertwined with the tribesâ larger effort to assert treaty guaranteed fishing rights. Ulrich deftly examines a host of other issuesâincluding declining salmon runs, industrial development, tribal self government, and recreationâthat became enmeshed in the tribesâ pursuit of justice. Her broad and incisive account ranges from descriptions of the damâs disastrous effects on a salmon dependent culture to portraits of the plights of individual Indian families. Descendants of those to whom the promise was made and activists who have s pent their lives working to acquire the sites reveal the remarkable patience and resilience of the Columbia River Indians. In a new epilogue, Ulrich updates the story of the treaty fishing sitesâ now all nearly completedâand describes political and cultural developments since 1999, including a major new component: the planned reconstruction of the Celilo Indian Village.
