John,

Dam removal on the Elwha and Klamath rivers was only possible because Indigenous leaders fought fiercely to restore life-sustaining salmon to abundance.

We’re proud to partner with Children of the Setting Sun Productions and others for this screening of Our Sacred Obligation, featuring Washington Conservation Action CEO Alyssa Macy. This is the first of a documentary film series, "The Salmon People Project,” that amplifies Indigenous voices working to reverse the devastating impact of salmon loss and to heal Mother Earth.

What: Our Sacred Obligation virtual screening and panel
When: Thursday, Feb 23, 6:30 - 8:00 PM PT

Hear from Frances Charles, Chairwoman of Elwha Klallam Tribe; Amy Cordalis, Principal, Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group; and Darrell Hillaire, Executive Director of Children of the Setting Sun Productions.

Our Sacred Obligation, recounts the historic, and now-threatened, relationship between the Yurok Tribe and Klamath River salmon. The work of the Yurok recently lead to the decision to remove four dams on the Klamath River. You don't want to miss this, RSVP to join us for the screening!

Hope to see you there!
