85 years old , my hat off to ya......a beautiful place......
Native American. Veteran Native Americans. These are the most beautiful people on earth. They protect their families. They protect their country. They protect their communities. All men worldwide could learn a lot from these beautiful souls!!
Been here with some native friends! Love the salmon ppl
Make those libs cry!
It's so sad I remember 30 years so many salmon in the ocean. I wish we could bring back those numbers.

If thats the case, vote blue bc democrats believe in conserving for the future
@@jerrythao9321 start your own party you mean? all modern politicians in the USA are corrupt to their cores...
@@jerrythao9321 you realized thats why Californias fisheries are so fucked? its also the same reason why we only get a calendar year for our hunting and fishing licenses because these democrats can't articulate the difference between that and a license that lasts a year from the date of purchase. Same dumb asses let striped bass run amuck and screw around with the waterways to the point where native salmon aren't really a thing in califronia anymore
@@jerrythao9321 LOL!! There are no "blues/Dems" only Marxist/Commies. I gather you're either a politician, or just plain ignorant. You can't tell my people what's best for them, you have no idea how much has been taken in the name of the government. The Bye-done Regime has sold America out to China. What do the Natives do now? Count on the blue? 😆😅🤣. Since you're trying to be "helpful" how's about you go to your mighty leader and have them honor the original agreement for fishing rights on the Columbia River Gorge? Then, head to the Smithsonian and ask for the ALL the personal affects they stole from Memaloose Island? And, have yet to catalogue.
Traditions are fascinating.
It's actually--> this: CHRACHICHON! I sit, on this chair, and answered, this woman, while she, sat down also- in her chair.
We need to increase hatchery output in order to give our wild fish a better chance at returning home
Whats so traditional about modern long aluminum poles and nylon nets?
Tools of old were made of hemp twine attached to wooden hoops and long poles... it’s just much easier with today’s technology. A thinner wire hoop net gives less resistance against the fast current.
The practice is moron
They are leeching the system same as white man
@@DarkVenom1432 what system would that be?
With modern tools and paved spots they can easily... But how is it traditional?
There is a wonderful play put on in Oregon maybe 20 years ago called "Ghosts of Cellilo" and it tells the story of the falls, second only to Niagra and the customs of 6 tribes who fished
the falls every year on platforms & made dipnets. The fish were huge & fed lots of families all year. The Dalles Dam covered the falls, but they still are there under the high water. I am
so glad to see this beautiful video of people still fishing in the old way and catching beautiful big salmon.
What a beautiful and educational video! Thank You 🌸
lisa will you pls marry me
I would really like to know of the older guys lives. Their hats really sparked my interest.
On the Klamath river tribal lands they extend a gill net from bank to bank and take every fish over 4" in girth....the downfall in salmon numbers is directly tied to the native Americans taking all the spawning fish out of the rivers.
Yup 👍
Would be a great and safe idea if they left kayaks tied to the platforms beneath them, in this case let’s hope they are experienced enough to handle one. I’m sure it’ll help and that way they have security and safety when enjoying their life long tradition.
Just a thought 💭
Do the tribes have a set quota? How many are you allowed to keep when open?
Didn't you watch the video? There not there to make quota
They are there to waste the fish.
They just let the fish get rotten. They don’t eat fish that much and they are extremely filthy
Really REALLY happy some native americans are keeping their culture, knowledge, identity and way of life alive.
I encourage all native americans to be like this.
Alaska has awesome salmon dip nets too!
Good video
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Very nice
Where is this???
Fishing 🎏 🎏
My hobby 🤗
That river is a blessing
Interesting techniques of fishing
It is not fishing
who would have thought they had aluminium poles in those days
it's about the practice moron
I can see many americans talking about over fishing and those fishermen playing “ancient culture”. You can’t kill fish but you can go ahead with red indians. Wow..!
go to Alaska net dip fishing hella fun
I guess in the past they called netting , fishing ?
They didn't call it anything it was surviving something you could never understand enjoy your white privlage on Indian land
Amazing
Wow amazing. Love to watch this kind of video
Make America native again
Ko hau America ko America a hau I am America America is me
Nice
🎉
Those huge commercial fisheries trolling the bottom of the sea especially the coral reefs are the problems.
Good fishing
Wish I could do that
You have different rules because you are new here and it's not your land
Its wonderful seeing the beauty of native cultures but occasionally there are few that always ruins it for everyone.

Really i like most

Good
Nice style
The most healthy way i ve seen so far
This entire Earth would have been better off in the hands of these guys, natives!!!!
@@tima.478 I always thought the same, they actually understand we rely on nature and they don’t waste a thing they take from it
@@NDwhITeBoYZ Exactly, and they also leave a very tiny footprint if any at all!!! (no trash, no waste, no dumping of non-biodegradable products)
I wanna net one
V NICE
It’s not fishing it’s netting.
Fishing fishing pa.more.
Wow
Is this in Arkansas?
carl evans lol..Yakima River in Washington State.
@@definitelycortez3408 Klickitat river in Lyle, wa.
ok your videos... i'm from indonesia
🔥🏹
What you didn’t see is the Yakamas selling their catch to commercial buyers.
So, they can do whatever they want with them. You like money? so does everyone else. you are on native land
Go back to Europe then ?
@@trillmoney3147 is this a statement or a question? 🤷🏻♂️
@@takeiteasy2530ur only alive because we let you live. Remember that
It’s not sportfishing
👍👍👍

When a native does it in they're homeland its "not right" and "over fishing" or "poaching" but when white people do it its perfectly fine ive watched more videos of white people dipnetting in Alaska then any native in the lower states and obviously we are out numbered by the white fisherman and its not just the white people either each year there are more and more people fishing you can see non natives that are fishing shoulder to shoulder on almost every river when us natives have the same rivers boundaries that we cant fish past an we cant use fish finders like the people on boats do
What the HELL is going on with our u.s.,(not capitalized because they're not worthy of that kind of acknowledgement!), government? They DON'T TELL US WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GO!
WE TELL THEM WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO! It's a government OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE!
Quit being a dictator government and start working for what we pay you to do, TO MAKE THIS A BETTER COUNTRY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT A BETTER COUNTRY!
YAKAMA NATION!

Trout best fish
Catching or fishing. doesn't matter the term..its locals getting food to put on the table..people killing animals for sport are called hunters why not sportsmen? So???
I love traditional fishing!
nice trick
You never say your fishing when you use a net. Its more like you are channeling the fish into a tight Valley then netting them. its like scoping fish out of a fish tank. your trapping the fish. your not fishing your catching the fish. and seems likes 80% comments say the same thing.
oh so using traditional techniques that's been used for years isn't fishing? where as a rod is? dude you know nothing about fishing then along with others. Fishing can be using hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping. But whatever say this ain't fishing your ass couldn't do it without a native telling you how to do it. Otherwise call all the people on boats in the ocean using nets not fisherman.
These are trout fishes

Hi
Cari apa
Dumbest thing I have heard were not in the stone ages
Be great full for what you have and don’t take away their way of life just because you don’t agree with them
I have no problem with tribal rights until they use modern devices that weren't used back when the treaties were written. Forty foot aluminum net handles, plywood planks, monofilament gill nets, metal spears, 1,000,000 candle powered spotlights and gasoline-powered boats should not be used.
boy girl and a dad?
boy girl and a dad Why?
Definitely Cortez because it's not what was going on when the treaties were written. When the treaties were written
They were intended to be modified every five years to keep up with changing times (technologies). Now what we have is over fishing. The tribes take and take and take.
In tribal waters around here the over harvest massively and it's not for sustenance anymore either otherwise they wouldn't be knocking people's doors selling 5 gallon pails of walleye filets. Use a torch and a traditional spear instead of a 1,000,000 candle power spotlight, motorboat, and a huge metal spear.
Gill nets go totally around the Keweenaw peninsula. I once heard a tribal member bragging about the 40 pound laker he caught. He said they get quite a few big once like that but the break off and sink to the bottom. Waste.
Copper Harbor use to have a really cool sport fishery for Splake. It's over now. Gill nets everywhere. In the fall you can still catch the planted fish from the spring because they can still swing through the nets. By spring they are all gone.
In Escanaba two tribal members over harvested 70,000 pounds of fish. In the end they were fined about 300 dollars each and lost fishing privileges for 3 years. I know one of them was back fishing the next year.
The tribe once told our fishing organization that their science knew exactly how many fish they could take out of a certain lake because their methods were so sound and their people so honest. We paid them a visit while they were spearing. When we talked to the boss he was super nervous and said they were trying to shut things down because it was getting "way out of hand". When we asked him what that means he walked away and wouldn't speak to us. Our relationship with the tribe was over at that point. They never spoke to us again.
I read some of your other posts and some other posts here. Sorry but no white guilt here. The natives americans are a defeated nation. However I understand why some of you cry about it but I do not care. Make your way in this world just like everyone else. On one hand we are white devils but on the other hand you have no problem sticking out your hands for government money.
Fred Dakota gifted you with with being able to open casinos and still you cry. Such pathetic greed.
And before you totally try to flame me just know that I could be using these treaty rights. But I am a human and I stand on my own two feet and make my way in this world like everyone else should and don't cry because of skin color or origins.
If ever you have a moment of clarity and look from the outside in you will see what a pathetic joke the tribes have become.
First off you're blaming 95% natives for over fishing and being greedy. There's more and more fishing on the columbia river where a lot of the people complain about natives. Gill nets have been used traditionally from hundreds of tribes around the world it's not just an american thing. If you want to talk about over fishing blame the gill netters in the ocean who overrrrr fish to sell in stores everywhere. They pretty much wipe a lot a good amount of them before they even touch the fresh water.
You haven't even considered how white people wiped alll the fish out till there was nothing left. My mom of 57 years old has been on the columbia river since her 20's and has seen the good the bad the ugly. She's been fishing since there was no fish in the whole river. For a solid month she only caught one out of all the fishing crews out there. If it wasn't for tribes like yakama, nez perce, puyullp and another one putting in fish hatcherys guess what PAL, no fish. No salmon. This is a right to fish on the river and if no ones out there exercising the right then the white man obviously will walk all over us.
Adapting is what we have to do on the river. The river is too swift now and days to use anything smaller than a 14 ft boat. Only on calm days can you use a raft which both my mom and sister have done. Which I'd doubt you'd ever do or have any knowledge about. if you so want to talk about the past and how we should fish like before then you should go back to candles, using horses, fires, and no electronics if you want to live in the past so badly.
Talking about casinos you have no idea of the benefits they provide to reservations. Did you know legends casino donates money to schools all the time? they give out school supplies with backpacks to kids who need them. They provide school teams with new uniforms and equipment. They help them build new gyms, fields, and courses. But again I doubt you've looked into what tribes do with casino money and think all members receive a big ol fat check every month.
You think its about greed? many fisherman have lost their lives on this river. Just last month I lost a cousin who drowned. Guess what, it was never talked about on the news or anywhere except the yakama hearld. Before you think the way we fish now is easy and hasn't took lives. Obviously you're in need or more research.
SeaJay McConville nets made out of synthetic materials that extend for miles and are hauled by large gasoline driven boats don't date back through world history.
If you look into where promised casino money goes you may notice there is some major bait and switch going on. Ever notice the state of our schools or hear how they are hurting for money? And no, I don't think that everyone gets a big fat tribal casino check, so don't even suggest that's what I think.
And I don't think you heard me when I mentioned that I have native blood in me and could exercise my rights. I choose not to. Why? Because I don't take shelter because of what my lineage is. We are all humans. We want to be treated equal but only if it fits our needs.
And talk about educating yourself on n subjects; one of the prior posts talked about how small pox was spread on purpose as a method of biological warefare. Well if you research it you'll find that is total myth. It doesn't do anyone any good to spread lies and only hurts the cause you are fighting for because of loss of credibility.
And I'm sorry about your relative drowning and it not making national news. I've had a few friends die working and their deaths didn't make anything more than the obituary. I don't understand why you think a person who died while netting fish is newsworthy
a least you know how to catch what you need not like hmong people's catch all.
Joyce Yang damn. I was reading comments and came upon yours. 😆 I'm hmong too and you are right but sheesh. You don't have to put us out like that haha.
This entertaining
That's not fishing. That's called catching.
joe bustos thats rigth
joe--Have you ever tried handling a very large net? Don't speak of what you don't know---
Brian Skinner No I use a pole to fish. looks pretty easy if that old guy is doing it.
joe--I use a rod as well but remember this--if it looks easy you are watching someone good.
Brian Skinner let's see stick a net in the narrow part of flowing water, wait for fish to swim into net then pull up. Seems pretty simple. Not knocking there tradition but that's not fishing.
Good for you keeping up tribal traditions and letting fish by to spawn but don't tell a lie about only supporting your families with the fish. Thousands of salmon are sold every year to whoever. I don't have a problem with this either just don't lie about it.
Bat ca
Mntp
And believe me you can still smell the stink
Looks like white man fishing at celilo falls! Wish we could slatter fish and just trust the state to provide more for us!
There is a lesson, white men should learnt from this people, catch only to support his family not catching to the last fish.
Anglers always hate
Till they ask me to buy a salmon or salmon eggs
Fishing with such techniques have been around forever
The fights on! Lol. You’re fishing w a dip net. There’s no fight whatsoever 🤦🏼♂️
It's their continent! If you tell them they cannot fish there you're violating their rights and marginalising them.
I bet you give money to support causes in Africa. How about do justly by those from who you stole an entire continent.
"RED INDIAN LIVES MATTER"
sad man before u know it there ain't gonna b any fish in there do it real way use a fishing pole
Sure they can just poach the hell out of everything
Many A paleface have been scalped and chummed to the fishies here, ahh waka sasha hohoo
We don't fish to the last fish this shows how he is concerned about the future generations love this guy.
Amazing
Hi
Keeping up with the ancient ways, traditional lumber and monofilament.
That's right, and I'm sure the natives didn't improve their equipment and techniques over centuries... they are keeping the principles dude
@@UA-cam_is_full_of_trolls Like the wheel??
@@UA-cam_is_full_of_trolls like metal untensils??
@@gravel_guppies4620 lol are you really that mentality challenged? The material used varies over time, shape, structure, techniques... you think the first people that settled in that area just had it figured out from the start? No, they built and refined their techniques and technology over hundreds of years... always using the best tools and technology for a successful harvest... stop being butthurt by some guys netting salmon and surely eating it... how many fresh fish have you eaten or wasted? Fish that were harvested using commercial techniques that produce mainly by catch
@@UA-cam_is_full_of_trolls mentally challenged? Maybe. But you're kinda arguing against your words. I dont have time nor mental capacity to explain but eventually you'll figure it out.

Nice Video very good
Those who came here from Europe for a new life, stole the land and pushed the Natives into poverty and wanted to cut off their livelihoods. Your ancestors must be proud!
That happened all over the globe to all kinds of people's. if you do your homework you'll find the life of the Indian was not a fairy tale storybook there was mass genocides, slavery ,'starvation ,headhunters. and some tribe's would not be here at all if not for the European. just sayin
That was the law of the land, Indian tribes were fighting each other over territory all the time,
Your soy boy, woke bulshhit is severely misguided
I'll bet there's gold in that creek, fishing come second.....lol......
