We were joined by Alaskan Native and Alaskan subsistence fishers for a discussion on salmon relationships and how Indigenous culture and way of being are being affected by declining salmon numbers on both sides of the border. Efforts to save salmon for the ecosystem and future generations were shared as well as hopes to see salmon and people back along the river, as it was generations ago.
The Salmon Knowledge Hub, Council of Yukon First Nations, Yukon Frist Nation Salmon Stewardship Alliance and the Yukon University hosted the Salmon Day with funding from the Canadian Mountain Network. Thank you to Kwanlin Dün First Nations for their partnership at the event and the excellent venue.
