Our region is facing tremendous setbacks for salmon populations and Northwest tribal treaty rights. Fish runs continue to fall short while Indigenous communities bear the brunt of climate change, political polarization, and existential threats to their way of life. Tribes can\u2019t overcome these issues alone, but it\u2019s not just a matter of finding allies \u2014 it\u2019s how to get them in the game.<\/p>\n
The Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition, formed by Salmon Defense, has taken an innovative approach to protect salmon, restore ecosystems, and build climate resilience by uniting unexpected allies, who have often been at odds in the past.\u00a0\u200bThis diverse coalition includes tribal leaders, scientists, state and local officials, fishers, attorneys, conservation groups, and local industries.<\/p>\n
Join us on Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day, for a conversation offering a timely reminder that Indigenous knowledge systems are not only vital to climate resiliency but must also be centered in policy-driven solutions. See how cross-cultural dialogue can help foster creativity and how lasting alliances are strengthened by collaboration amongst groups with different viewpoints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
