BRINGING HOME THE SALMON
The new film Bringing the Salmon Home shares the story of three Indigenous Nations who are upholding their sacred responsibility to reintroduce the salmon, working with US Tribal relations and allies along the river. First person stories are combined with vivid landscape and underwater salmon footage, and archival film reels, to tell the long-hidden story of these Salmon People. Today the Syilx Okanagan Secwepemc , and Ktunaxa Nations are working in an Indigenous-led collaboration to bring the salmon home, for the benefit of all. This is a vital film that calls on the inspiration and commitment of present and future generations. For more information see columbiariversalmon.ca.
