Controversy surrounded the project, with local Native communities anticipating the devastation of their way of life and white settler-descended advocates of the dam envisioning a future of thriving infrastructure and industry. In In Defense of Wyam, having secured access to hundreds of previously unknown and unexamined letters, Katrine Barber revisits the subject of Death of Celilo Falls, her first book. She presents a remarkable alliance across the opposed Native and settler-descended groups, chronicling how the lives of two women leaders converged in a shared struggle to protect the Indian homes of Celilo Village. Flora Thompson, member of the Warm Springs Tribe and wife of the Wyam chief, and Martha McKeown, daughter of an affluent white farming family, became lifelong allies as they worked together to protect Oregon's oldest continuously inhabited site. As a Native woman, Flora wielded significant power within her community yet outside of it was dismissed for her race and her gender. Martha, although privileged due to her settler origins, turned to women's clubs to expand her political authority beyond the conventional domestic sphere. Flora's and Martha's coordinated efforts offer readers meaningful insight into a time and place where the rhetoric of Native sovereignty, the aims of environmental movements in the American West, and women's political strategies intersected. 600 10 $a McKeown, Martha Ferguson, $d 1903-1974. 600 10 $a Thompson, Flora Cushinway, $d 1893-1978. 610 20 $a Celilo Falls Indian Relocation Project $x Political aspects. 600 17 $a McKeown, Martha Ferguson, $d 1903-1974. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00459809 610 27 $a Celilo Falls Indian Relocation Project. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00695477 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure $z Celilo. $z Celilo. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Celilo $z Celilo $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Relocation $z Celilo. $z Celilo. 650 0 $a Women $z Celilo $z Celilo $v Biography. 650 0 $a Wyam Indians $v Biography. 650 0 $a Whites $z Columbia River Valley $x Relations with Indians. 651 0 $a Celilo (Or.) $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Barber, Katrine. $t In defense of Wyam. $d Seattle : Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest in association with University of Washington Press, [2018] $z 9780295743592 $w (DLC) 2018002203 830 0 $a Emil and Kathleen Sick lecture-book series in western history and biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013825.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806022655.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C764F40F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
