Ind 1. The long hours, or ceremonial tent of the Rock Creek Indians. These Indians are a branch of the Yakima Indians, and live in a remo[t]e creem canyon above Celilo Falls on the Washington side of the river. These Indians have lived here for centuries, and refuse to leave. Twice when removed to the Yakima Reservation, they gathered themselves together, and in the dead of night, began a return to their ancestral home, 90 miles away. Uncle Sam finally gave up, and granted patents to them. Each year, about our Easter time, these Indians put on a Root Feast, a sort of farewell to winter and dried fish and fruit, and a welcome to the fresh fish and wild roots. It is a solemn affair, with singing, dancing and feasting. Usually lasts three days. It is preceded by the Indian women going out over the barren hills, gathering bitterroot, cous, and several others which has become full of sap. The men go down to the Celilo Falls and catch a fresh supply of salmon. The long house is quite roomy, in which the dancing is held in the early morning, and again at night. Some dance in groups of three, either all men or women in each trio. So far none has taken pictures inside of either the dancing or the feasting, due to objections of some of the older and more superstitions Indians., circa 1953-1955
