Designed and built as a collaborative effort between Pacific Northwest Native American tribes and architects Johnpaul Jones and Maya Lin, the bridge is 1/3rd of a mile long and the location specifically chosen by Native American tribes in the Columbia River watershed to mark a cultural and spiritual symbolic area.[3]
