the people and events that have shaped our communities. Visit www.oregonencyclopedia.org for History

interpretive website. At this Oregon Encyclopedia History Night, learn about the stories of Celilo Falls and
its people, view images and video footage, and engage in discussion about multi-media interpretation of
historical sites.
 

Confluence Project is a collaborative effort of Pacific Northwest tribes, renowned artist Maya Lin, civic
groups from Washington and Oregon and other artists, architects and landscape designers. The project
stretches more than 300 miles from where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean, to Clarkston,
WA, with sites in both Oregon and Washington. Each of its six sites features an art installation by Ms. Lin
that interprets the area’s ecology and history, encouraging the visitor to reflect on how the surroundings
have changed over time. Visit www.confluenceproject.org for more information.
