  • “What you all are doing there is organizing. You are taking power from other structures and putting it behind the sovereignty, the salmon, the orca, the Indigenous Peoples and figuring out how do we unite that voice into one to advance our common cause. That’s the movement. That’s where we are.”

    Amy Cordalis (Yurok), Executive Director of Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group

  • “As I was watching Nooksack Nation up here, I started to get emotional. I was just thinking about how at a certain point in history the goal was to erase Tribal Nations and yet here we are, having retained these traditions. We are so resilient. And knowing that, it seems impossible that we could lose our relative salmon.”

    Kayeloni Scott, Executive Director Columbia Snake River Campaign, Communications for the Nez Perce Tribe and American Rivers, R.U.N Organizer
