Wild Salmon Caravan Starts

Celebrate the spirit of wild salmon through the arts and culture in a way that will nurture the creative energy that wild salmon have inspired through the ages. The Wild Salmon Caravan (WSC) also intends to affirm inter-tribal relationships that are the foundation of traditional trade and fisheries governance knowledge systems. The collaboration and creative energy will serve to educate, inform, and transform the darkness surrounding the industrial storm that is endangering wild salmon. Ancient ceremonies and songs of Indigenous peoples, as well as creative expressions of visual and performing arts, music, storytelling, and guest speakers will call the wild salmon home to the rivers and streams where they play out their lives in birth and death.
