In this installment of the Confluence podcast, storyteller Ed Edmo (Shoshone Bannock), photographer Joe Cantrell (Cherokee) and composter Nancy Ives who talked about their new symphony called “Celilo Falls We Were There.” Conductor Yaki Bergman was also at the event but as he was there via zoom, the mic did not pick up his audio. For the symphony Ed paired his poetry with Nancy Ives music and projected photographic images by Joe Cantrell. “Celilo Falls We Were There” explores the geologic and human history of Celilo Falls, and how when The Dalles Dam flooded the Falls in 1957 Indigenous people lost not only their livelihoods but their cultural and spiritual home since time immemorial.
