Heart of the Salmon:Spirit of the People: Ethnicity, Pollution, and Cultural Loss

Description

The broad purpose of this book is to examine the loss of salmon from pollution in three North American rivers: the Columbia, The Fraser, and the Yukon. The text is interspersed with native voices and supplemental materials that describe the early life of tribes, tradings, and the culture of a people who today have been victimized by the loss of a cultural and spiritual resource. The book is grounded in Medical Ecology theory and voices a deep and meaningful message from Native scientists and traditional knowledge keepers who attempt to weave a solution for this monumental problem.
