The Army Corps of Engineers has dedicated up to one-point-five-six million dollars for a village development plan to replace housing that was lost during construction of The Dalles Dam, with plans to dedicate one-point-four-nine million dollars more depending on congressional funding for the rest of the current fiscal year.  Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon, Patty Murray of Washington, and Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer made the announcement. Beginning in the 1930s, the construction of the three lower Columbia River dams displaced members of the four Columbia River Treaty tribes.  The Army Corps designed treaty fishing sites to be used primarily for daily, in-season fishing access and temporary camping; however, in many cases tribal members now use the areas as longer-term or even permanent residences.  A Fact-Finding Review on Tribal Housing prepared by the Army Corps found that as many as 85 tribal families who lived on the banks of the Columbia River prior to construction of the Bonneville and The Dalles dams did not receive relocation assistance, despite the fact that several non-tribal communities inundated by dam construction did receive such assistance.
