Monday, March 12, 2007 Welcoming canoe visitors Celilo Chief Olsen Meanus, Jr., greets visiting tribal canoe families during a March 10 ceremony in which the canoes are invited ashore with words of welcome and sacred songs. The tribes gathered to commemorate the loss of Celilo Falls 50 years ago. See more photos of the weekend events on Page A12. Hundreds of people turned out for the two-day event, which drew tribal attendance from around the Pacific Northwest, as well as a general audience. Parked cars stretched along the road almost a mile, and many visitors lined up for the grilled salmon dinner. Displays, crafts, dancing and speakers rounded out the events.
