Salmon People: A Native Fishing Family’s Fight to Preserve a Way of Life

2 years 10 months ago

This video was produced for ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network in partnership with Oregon Public Broadcasting. Sign up for Dispatches to get stories like this one as soon as they are published.

When the salmon are running up the Columbia River, Native people are there with them. They live, eat and sleep at the river. Their children grow up at the river. They catch salmon for subsistence, for ceremonies and for their living.

This is the life of the Wy-Kan-Ush-Pum, the Salmon People. It is a life Columbia River tribal people have lived for generations and have fought for decades to protect. Over the last century and a half, they have watched as forces eroded their access to salmon. Treaties removed them from their traditional fishing areas; dams massively reduced the numbers of salmon that swam in the waters; environmental contamination further poisoned the well.

And now, as climate change threatens the salmon throughout its life, the stakes of that fight are existential.

Watch the documentary, and read all of ProPublica and Oregon Public Broadcasting’s team reporting on the threats facing salmon and the broken treaties that the government swore would protect tribes’ right to fish.

Should Teachers Have Access to Guns in Schools?

2 years 10 months ago
This is a one syllable answer: No. But I understand how some people think teachers carrying guns or having them stored in a nearby secret lockbox is a good idea because, even if they’re not conscious of it, they maintain the ever-present American fantasy that the cowboy-cop, such as Richard Boone’s Paladin in Have Gun—Will Travel or Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry or any recent “Man with a Gun” film (like Tom Cruise in a jet) will save the day for our schoolchildren the next time an alienated young person arms himself with an AR-15 and 600 rounds and enters a school, despite the sensible yet ineffective measures of locked doors, metal detectors and the training of teachers to share the four E’s: Educate, Escape, Evade, and Engage.
