"MAY THIS BE THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE"

" The construction of Chief Joseph Dam in the late 1940's until 1981 has forced the Re-burial of our (Snspilex-Nespelem) ancestors to this location. During their lifetime in the past 6,000 years until about the 1850's they lived along the Great Columbia River."
