NEW REGULATIONS GOVERNING 

 USE OF NORTHWEST INDIAN 

 FISHING SITES PROPOSED: 



A proposal to adopt new regulations gov- 

 erning the use of Indian government-owned 

 fishing grounds by the Yakima, Umatilla, and 

 Warm Springs Tribes, and by other Columbia 

 River Indians in the Pacific Northwest has 

 been proposed by the U. S. Department of the 

 Interior. 



The lands affected are in Washington and 

 Oregon, under the jurisdiction of the Secre- 

 tary of the Interior, and were made available 

 to the Indians in lieu of fishing grounds 

 flooded or destroyed when Bonneville Dam 

 was constructed during the 1930's. 



Need for rules to clarify use of the five 

 replacement sites has become obvious in 

 view of health, safety, and sanitation hazards 

 which have developed without regulations, 

 the Interior Department said. The sites are: 



1. Lone Pine --on south bank of Columbia 

 River between The Dalles bridge and The 

 Dalles dam. Nine acres in size. 



2. Cascade Locks --on south bank of Co- 

 lumbia within city limits of Cascade Locks 

 a few hundred feet downstream from site of 

 the old canal locks. 1.6 acres. 



3. Wind River --on east bank of the Wind 

 River about three-quarters of a mile up- 

 stream from the Columbia and about 6 miles 

 east of Stevenson, Wash. 19.06 acres. 



4. Little White Salmon (also known as 

 Cook site)--on north bank of the Columbia 

 adjacent to Cook, Wash. 3,14 acres.
