The Ghost of Celilo

Students at Nixyaawii went to go watch a play at BMCC March 15-16. The play was called "The Ghost's of Celilo". The story takes place in the celilo village on the Oregon side of the Columbia river. Across from celilo it was Fallbridge, a white railroad town on the north bank, in Washington. The play take's place on "the other side" while they are trying to remember what happen when Celilo got destroyed. They remember when they find a whistle in a net. when they blow the whistle, they start to remember what had happened. The story takes place when two teenagers are going fishing their names are Noah Hunt; who plays Chokey Jim, Colton Lasater plays Train. They go to the Warm Springs boarding school, held there because they never went to school before they if they tried to escape,The principle they would call the cops and have them arrested. The other kid is an anorphan kid where name is Train, He's always with Chokey Jim. They are best friends in the play. Soon in the story they find out that the U.S. army is going to blow up Celilo to make a dam for hydro electric power. The two boys they want to go fish at Celilo before it is going down. The cast in order of appearance is Narrator Thomas Morning Owl, Mary (Karen Kitchen), Big Eddie (Fred Hill), The Colonel (Ron Harman), and Inky Kevin (Michael Moore). My opinion on the play it was good showed alot of things i didn't know about celilo falls.
