- Where Past is Present The Great Basin environment portrays an autumn, 6,000 years ago, when the area we now know as desert, bloomed with abundance. View a traditionally made wikiup and a cache of tui chubs, a food staple. One of North America's largest Native fishing and trading centers at Celilo Falls is illustrated in the Columbia Plateau environment during the summer fishing season some 250 years ago. Observe up close the span of a fishing net used at the Falls for over 10,000 years. A highlight of the Pacific Coast environment is a three-dimensional replica of a traditional winter plank house, situated in village at the mouth of an inland estuary around 1,500 years ago. In the Western Valleys, view a mural of Native women gathering camas roots during the spring harvest, in a valley surrounded by an oak savanna and a pine forest some 1,000 years ago. Scientific
