Covenant of the Salmon People - Movie
Sunday, June 30 at 9:30 a.m. Part One
Sunday, July 7 at 9:30 a.m. Part Two
The Parish Greening Committee will feature a one-hour, award winning film in two segments starting on Sunday 30 June and continuing on Sunday 7 July from 9:30 to to 10:00 AM in the Parish Hall. This film was produced by the Nez Perce tribe and is titled “Covenant of the Salmon People.” It features a portrait of the tribe as they continue to carry out their ancient promise to protect the Chinook salmon.
Salmon runs throughout the Pacific Northwest (PNW), particularly in the lower Snake River, have declined precipitously in recent years to the point where the salmon population is now endangered. The Nez Perce tribe and environmental advocacy groups have hosted screenings of this film across the PNW to raise awareness of the role salmon play in the culture and identity of the tribe. This documentary examines the tribes’s ancestral connection with the salmon, and its commitment to restore the endangered fish despite challenges posed by dams and climate change.
