Half a century ago, the lives of people in the Columbia Basin changed forever when a series of dams altered their homes and landscapes. This commemorative book is the story of how people took their power back. By raising their voices, facing challenges and putting in years of hard work, the region’s residents created Columbia Basin Trust.
Since 1995, they have supported this exceptional resource as it, in turn, has supported them. Learn how Basin residents and the Trust have travelled this unprecedented path together, bringing life to dreams and helping the region flourish.
