Former Chehalis Tribe Chairman David Burnett smiles for a photo in front of the Chehalis River at Rainbow Falls State Park near Dryad. This location is a traditional hunting ground for lamprey by the Chehalis Tribe. The falls — which are called “Slōsǐd,” meaning “fish trap,” in the oral history “Honné, the Spirit of the Chehalis” — are within the ceded territory of the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation. In the 1960s, the U.S. settled a lawsuit with the Tribe for 3 million acres of land, including these ancient hunting grounds. The federal government paid just $1.7 million for the land — about 50 cents an acre. The falls are still within the Tribe’s usual and accustomed hunting and fishing grounds, and lamprey are caught there every year.
