The mighty Columbia River was once the source of the world’s greatest salmon runs. But
massive dams have blocked salmon from returning to the vast headwaters of the upper
Columbia River in Canada for 85 years. Bringing the Salmon Home tells the story of the
Syilx Okanagan, Secwépemc, and Ktunaxa Nations who uphold their sacred responsibility
to reintroduce the salmon. Today the three Nations are leading a collaborative process with
BC and Canada, and working with US Tribes and allies along the river, to bring the salmon
home for the benefit of all. In this half-hour film, first person stories combine with vivid
landscape and underwater footage, and archival film, to tell the long-hidden story of these
Salmon People.
