PGE applies for federal cultural easement to allow tribal fishing at Willamette Falls

PGE sent the application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission April 16, requesting the agency grant perpetual cultural practice easements at the falls near the power company s hydroelectric project.

Grand Ronde tribe withdraws from Willamette Falls Trust April 29 2021
Owners of former paper-mill property pull out of organization aimed at engaging public, raising funds for redevelopment
The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde this month withdrew from the Willamette Falls Trust, the nonprofit organization made up of more than a dozen agencies.
Willamette Falls Trust has taken on engaging the public and raising funds to support the Willamette Falls Legacy Project, a major collaboration effort between the tribes and various governmental agencies in the redevelopment of the former industrial land around the falls in a way that pays homage to the sacred site with cultural significance to Pacific Northwest tribes. Willamette Falls Trust members included four other federally recognized tribes and government representatives from Oregon City, Clackamas County, Metro and the state of Oregon.
