Summary |
This story of the Columbia River is unique. Told from the river's perspective, it is an immersive, empathetic portrait of a once-wild river and of the Sinixt, a First People who lived on the mainstem of this great western river for thousands of years. Restoring migratory fish indigenous to the Upper Columbia will require transboundary cooperation. With Indigenous Nations on both sides of the US-Canada border now leading the way, many are hopeful that the fish will return. |
