Native American and Indigenous filmmakers share stories of hope, love, survival, and resilience, highlighting their connection to the water and land, and celebrating their identities as the First People of the continent. Bringing the Salmon Home is virtual only.
The iconic river of the west, the mighty Columbia River, was once the source of the greatest salmon runs in the world. But massive dams have blocked salmon from returning to the vast headwaters of the upper Columbia River in Canada for over 80 years. Bringing the Salmon Home is 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. Today the Syilx Okanagan, Secwépemc, and Ktunaxa Nations are working 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.
