Oct 14, 2026, 2:33 AM@GPJohnston absolutely. my novella is about blowing up a fictional dam on this river because some research I did about the Grand Coulee Dam during law school made me so mad

Not to mention downstream fisheries at Priest Rapids, Celilo Falls and at the mouth. Still has no fish passage facilities!

@GPJohnston yep! I consider it my enemy!!!!!! But made up a different dam for my characters to blow up 😅😅😅 plus fake bomb building methods. So no one can accuse me of actually planning to blow up the grand coulee :P

@GPJohnston in my opinion it violates the treaties because what was agreed upon was WILD fish. hatchery fish are not the same. No one at the time of signing would have thought they were agreeing to hatchery fish and a vastly reduced fish stock!!!!! Or the flooding of sacred places!!!! >:(
