Fishing Falls on the Columbia. -The fisherman with a spear caught a salmon and it was taken home immediately for fresh salmon feast. The volume of salmon caught were dried for winter consumption. A Long house would be festooned with drying salmon, clams and oysters strung above the fire on lines between the beams.

Small, only 14" tall by 9" wide.

A second Fishing falls is much larger it is 13 and a half inches wide by 25 inches tall.

This carving has been donated to The Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA), Portland, Oregon. The Center may be able to obtain the equipment (benches, band saw and hand carving tools) so I can teach the Youth to carve. They would need sponsors for this program. If you like my work and would be interested in helping make this happen email Nicole Maher
(nicholem@nayapdx.org), mention you are writing about the Project for Art McKellips to Teach the Youth Carving.
