Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fight of the Salmon People by Douglas W. Dompier For thousands of years, Indian people lived in the Columbia River basin where salmon became the foundation of their culture, religion, and economy. Lewis and Clark were amazed at the abundance of salmon upon their arrival in 1805. However, that abundance began to diminish as more and more settlers arrived and they began to change the region's landscape. Settlers to the region found the ground fertile for a multitude of crops and soon their irrigation programs east of the Cascade Mountains diverted water to the parched land that allowed the new industry to flourish. Trees of the forest seemed endless, and soon the timber industry became a dominant force in the region. Many of the streams were turned inside out as gold miners sought to extract the precious metal from the salmon's spawning gravel. Meanwhile, with the development of the canning industry, salmon offered a bounty to the non-Indian commercial fishers. Their ingenuity to devise modern harvest equipment and techniques allowed them to catch more and more of the valuable resource. As the region emerged from the Great Depression, the environmental insult that rendered the salmon's utilization of its habitat an almost fatal blow was the construction of the hydroelectric dams. A once-majestic and free-flowing river system was blocked or turned into a series of lakes and reservoirs. For many residents, the solution was the construction of fish hatcheries to offset the continual loss of the resource. Numerous papers, reports, and books were written about the damage inflicted on the salmon resources of the Columbia River due to the development of the basin, particularly the injury dueto hydroelectric dams. Although loss of Columbia River salmon is often attributed to those dams, serious decline of salmon began nearly a century earlier. Initial loss of salmon was due to commercial fishing and damage to tributary spawning and rearing habitat. Construction of dams began in earnest during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Within the span of less than forty years, the Columbia River and its major tributaries would be rocked with the construction of more than thirty major dams. Passage of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and Mitchell Act, at the time main-stem dam construction began, provided fishery agencies with crucial federal legislation to aid salmon runs the dams injured. Enactment of the acts offered opportunities for fish passage at the dams, habitat improvement projects, and construction of hatcheries in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. However, habitat-improvement projects and hatchery construction in the Columbia River basin remained insignificant until the Mitchell Act and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act were both amended in 1946. The amended acts became the principle vehicles that allowed fishery agencies to secure federal funds, primarily from the Corps of Engineers, through the construction of the dams they built on the main stems of the Columbia River and Snake River and some of the major tributaries of those rivers. This association led to the creation of one of the world's largest complex of salmon hatcheries on the Columbia River and its major tributaries. For the next forty years, state and federal fishery agencies utilized the allocations to build hatcheries that provided them the means to gain control of salmon runs of the Columbia River. Inthe 1980s, the four tribes with reserved treaty fishing rights within the Columbia River basin began to challenge that domination and called for alteration of the operation of salmon hatcheries to assist naturally spawning runs. As the tribes' efforts to reform salmon hatcheries to supplement naturally spawning salmon runs gained momentum, fishery agencies started to question the appropriateness of hatchery-reared fish to restore naturally spawning populations. Hatchery-reared salmon were viewed as inferior and interactions with wild fish were not encouraged. Eve

Book excerpt: Wild Chinook salmon, some migrating more than 900 miles to the ocean from the high mountains of Idaho, once made up nearly 50% of the Columbia River Basin's salmon runs. In 2020, and over the last twenty years, wild Chinook in Idaho have been in crisis, placed on the endangered species list, and face the growing threat of extinction. In fact, only 2 % of Idaho's wild Chinook population remains. This is not only a crisis for this Idaho salmon but also for biodiversity in the Pacific Northwest. Snake River Chinook salmon are culturally important to many indigenous peoples and are the main source of food for the Southern Resident killer whales (orcas) of Puget Sound; therefore, the plight of Chinook salmon is adversely affecting native traditions and sustenance, and also the Southern Resident orcas, which are also on the endangered species list. Because Chinook salmon who originate in Idaho travel the farthest through the Columbia River Basin to the Pacific Ocean... and back... than any other Chinook population in the lower 48 states, the focus of this book is on them and their miraculous, obstacle-filled migration. It is for the fish and young people that I write this book- in hopes of enlightening and inspiring kids all over the country, not just in Idaho, to learn how very special these brave salmon are and to join me in protecting them!
