  • Umatilla tribe member and fisheries biologist Aaron Jackson holds a pacific lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) while Umatilla tribe member Tony Montoya walks behind him with collecting nets. Water flowing over Willamette Falls (background) was restricted so tribe memebers from the Columbia River Basin could exercise their treaty rights to fish for lamprey.

  • The late Elmer Crow Jr., a Nez Perce Elder and technical supervisor for the Nez Perce Department Of Fisheries Resources Management, holds an adult Pacific Lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) before placing it in a holding tank. The Columbia River and the John Day Dam are in the background. Pacific Lamprey, often described as a trash fish, are in significant decline and are important to the tribes of the Columbia River Basin icnluding the Nez Perce. They are also important to the ecology of the river and tributary ecosystem.

  • An juvenile Pacific Lamprey (Lampetra tridentata) uses its sucker-like mouth parts to attach itself to the glass of an aquarium . 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.

  • Blue camas flowers (Camassia quamash) and yellow western buttercup (Ranunculus occidental) blooming on Weippe Praire, Idaho. The bulbs of these plants are edible and are a valuable food source for the Nez Perce tribe. On September 20, 1805 the first members of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery, including Clark himself, emerged starving and weak onto the Weippe Prairie. There they encountered the Nez Perce, who were attracted to the area by the abundant hunting, as well as the fields of camas flowers, whose roots were a staple of their diet.
