  • The shape of a shaman or mystreious mythical figure stand in relief - etched into a rock on the "Temani Pesh-wa" trail (also "written on rock" trail) in Columbia Hills State Park on the Washington Side of the Columbia River Gorge. This petroglyph was removed from the famous "Petroglyoh Canyon" along the Columbia River before it was flooded by construction of The Dalles Dam in 1957. The Army Corps Of Engineers stored the rock art until 2004 when Temani Pesh-wa trail was built.

  • An juvenile Pacific Lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) uses its sucker-like mouth parts to attach itself to a river rock . These fish have an ancient lineage, appearing in the fossil record nearly 450 million years ago – well before the age of the dinosaurs. Pacific lamprey are an important ceremonial food for Native American tribes in the Columbia River basin. Little is known about the life history or habits of this fish except that their numbers in the Columbia River have greatly declined over several decades. Photographed at the USGS Columbia River Research Lab in Willard, Washington.

  • Photographer and curator Terry Toedtemeier stands next to a gallary of complex pictographs with petroglyohs, estimated to be 2000 - 3000 years old in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Native people who live in the area refer to the creators of the rock art in the Columbia River area as the "River People". Much of the original rock art in the area has been flooded by hydro projects or vandalized, but there remain some prinstine examples in out of the way areas.

  • The famous ancient indian rock art known as &quot;Tsagaglalal&quot; or &quot;She Who Watches&quot; located in the Columbia Hills State Park in Washington as part of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. There are several legends of &quot;Tsagaglalal&quot;<br />
<br />
Quoted from Wikipedia 6/6/08 &quot;There are several versions of the legend, but the one told by the Wishram people is as follows:<br />
A woman had a house where the village of Nixluidix was later built. She was chief of all who lived in the region. That was a long time before Coyote came up the river and changed things and people were not yet real people. After a time Coyote in his travels came to this place and asked the inhabitants if they were living well or ill. They sent him to their chief who lived up on the rocks, where she could look down on the village and know what was going on.<br />
Coyote climbed up to the house on the rocks and asked &quot;What kind of living do you give these people? Do you treat them well or are you one of those evil women?&quot; &quot;I am teaching them to live well and build good houses,&quot; she said.<br />
&quot;Soon the world will change,&quot; said Coyote, &quot;and women will no longer be chiefs.&quot; Then he changed her into a rock with the command, &quot;You shall stay here and watch over the people who live here.&quot;<br />
All the people know that Tsagaglalae sees all things, for whenever they are looking at her those large eyes are watching them.&quot;

  • The Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa) has been lost from at least 78 percent of its former range. Precise historic data is lacking, but this species has been documented in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. It is believed to have been extirpated from California. It is currently known to occur from extreme southwestern British Columbia, south through the eastern side of the Puget/Willamette Valley Trough and the Columbia River Gorge in south-central Washington, to the Cascades Range, to at least the Klamath Valley in Oregon. In 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that the Oregon spotted frog warranted listing under the Endangered Species Act, but doing so was precluded by higher priority listing actions. The frog then became a candidate for listing in the future. Photographed in the Conboy Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Washington. Temporarily captive under permit. © Michael Durham / www.DurmPhoto.com
