Umatilla First Foods

The Umatilla Tribe in northeastern Oregon promised to take care of the foods that promised to take care of them: water, fish, game, roots and berries. These first foods have a deep history, extending back to original creation beliefs. The tribe has recently begun using the foods served at the Longhouse table to guide the way they protect, restore and manage natural resources in a changing landscape.
