I wish people would quite saying"our forefathers" or we raped the Columbia, etc. My forefathers had NOTHING to do with it. Some whites screwed it up big time. Yes they are to blame but myself and many others are not. I get tired of paying the price for something I had no part of.The dam on the Elwa was put in by private industry to supply power to private industry I believe (My ancestor was milking cows in Wisconsin).

Don't punish the sons for the sins of the father.
