Editing Celilo Falls (section)

==Legacy==
Celilo Falls retains great cultural significance for native peoples. Ted Strong of the Intertribal Fish Commission told one historian, "If you are an Indian person and you think, you can still see all the characteristics of that waterfall. If you listen, you can still hear its roar. If you inhale, the fragrances of mist and fish and water come back again."<ref name="Dietrich 1995 378" /> In 2007, three thousand people gathered at Celilo Village to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the inundation of the falls.<ref>{{cite news|last=Modie |first=Jonathan |title=The Celilo Legacy commemoration brought together the tribes of the lower Columbia River and others to remember Celilo Falls, bringing a mix of sadness and nostalgia. |work=Wana Chinook Tymoo |url=http://www.critfc.org/wana/legacy.html |access-date=2008-02-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515145832/http://www.critfc.org/wana/legacy.html |archive-date=2008-05-15 }}</ref>

In [[Ken Kesey]]'s novel [[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (novel)|One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest]], the narrator, Chief Bromden, grows up in a native village near the waterfall. In one section, he encounters the government agents sent to appraise the land and negotiate with Bromden's father, the chief of the village at the time.
