Reconnecting Fish, Water, and People - Part 2

Stay tuned for part 3.

To learn more, visit the link in the comments.

Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples of the Columbia basin relied on a healthy and connected ecosystem that supported abundant salmon runs and resilient resident fish populations. That all changed with the development of dams along the Columbia River and its tributaries, which fragmented the ecosystem and limited fish movement. To right these historic wrongs, the five member Tribes of UCUT have taken the lead on reintroducing salmon, restoring resident fish habitats, and reconnecting fish, water, and people. See the video below for more information on the dedicated work of the Upper Columbia United Tribes.
