Another person came to our class to talk to us about native culture and land use. His name is Chris Shelley and he is a graduate student at Portland State University. He was a very fascinating speaker and taught us about the methods natives used to conserved fish and manage the land. Mr. Shelly also taught our class about Indian treaties and their significance. According to Shelley there are three things that the natives did to manage the river and they are: Ceremonial, Usufructory rights, and Dispersed fishing. SalmonCorps Site

Sandhou
who works for the planning department of Skamania county came to talk
to us about Scenic Area zoning. Zoning is how the government limits
what land can be used for. The Columbia River Scenic Area has much more
restrictive zoning than most other areas. In the Columbia River Scenic
Area zoning restricts height, color, window tint, plants, and trees
you can use on your land. She stated that it takes at least three months
for all of the agncies to grant you to be able to do anything to your
land.
