Cover painting: "The Columbia Sinkiuse," by Keith Powell, P.O. Box 788, Grand Coulee, WA 99133. In circa 1820, a band of Sinkiuse in the Upper Grand Coulee leaves a lakeside campsite where the women have been collecting tule stems for making basketry and mats. Steamboat Rock is visible in the far distance (to the north). Having dressed in their best finery and decorated the horses with feathers and paints, the cavalcade of riders is journeying south to visit a village of kinfolk located in the lakes area of the lower coulee, a few miles below Dry Falls. Artist Keith Powell has researched historic photographs of Sinkiuse men to depict the faces of the warriors in the foreground.

Acknowledgments
As a land manager at the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge I often was asked, "Just what do the Cariboo or White Bluffs trails have to do with the Columbia Basin today?" My answer to this question is bound up in my professional training and career. I was taught to observe the things that take place around me each day and to relate them to my job, which is that of a steward of the land. I do not feel that I, or anyone for that matter, can manage a parcel of land without knowing and understanding its history.
So many times state and federal land management personnel are transferred from one geographic location to another, then asked to manage new areas, though they may have no prior knowledge of them. In most cases people try to relate to and manage the new areas as though they were the same as the ones left behind. In parts of the country that have high rainfall this generally is not too detrimental to the area, but in a desert this can be a disaster. A desert is a very fragile system and most humans have only a superficial understanding of it. They, for the most part, look upon it as a hostile environment.
