About the Book

Book Synopsis

A River Lost is the familiar story of an ancient culture infringed upon and altered forever by modern technology. It is the story of how the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam led to the destruction of a way of life for members of the Arrow Lakes Tribe. "Sinee mat" and her great-grandmother "Toopa" tell the engaging story of life on the Columbia River, before and after the dam.

Written by Lynn Bragg and beautifully illustrated by Virgil Smoker Marchand, a member of the Arrow Lakes Band of the Colville Confederated Tribes, readers of all ages will love this Since account of Pacific Northwest history.
