The River of the Salmon People captures what the Fraser River, and its most valuable resource, the salmon, means to First Nations communities along its basin. The result of nine community engagements, extensive research over two years, and illuminating photographs and artwork, this book captures the oral narratives of each community along the river. The book, while capturing timeless Indigenous stories and legends about the salmon and the river, is also an exploration of the future of the salmon and of the waters of the Fraser River. It will have high appeal to readers interested in First Nations issues, the sustainability of the salmon, and the environmental challenges facing the world today. The River of the Salmon People is an expression of the people, culture, ceremony and songs along the Fraser of will be of deep interest to both the general reader and students of the environment and Indigenous rights.
