Wild Salmon Caravan

For thousands of years, the wild salmon have been our most important Indigenous food and cultural and ecological keystone species that feeds the entire Pacific and Inland Temperate Rainforests. Wild salmon are an indicator of the health and integrity of the Indigenous land and food system on which the health and functioning of the agro-ecological system is interdependent. They feed many species including the bears, the wolves, the eagles, the forests, and our families and communities. The ability of our communities to respond to the many environmental and socio-economic issues threatening wild salmon is intimately linked to the strength, resiliency and ability of wild salmon to overcome the many odds they face along their journey to the Salish Seas and home again to spawn and nurse in the rivers, lakes, and streams of the Fraser Basin. In this respect, the WSC will bring deeper meaning and understanding to truth and reconciliation in a way that words cannot confer.#WildSalmonForever
