Salmon, sacred to the people living along their paths, have historically been abundant in rivers through out the North Pacific Rim. This is no longer the case. Thirteen writers from two continents and four countries write about "the fish of gods" from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Their text celebrates the blessedness and mourns the loss of the fish while alerting us to current dangers and conditions. The book is illustrated with traditional designs from each Nation (Ainu from Japan, Nyvkh from Sakhalin, Ulchi from Siberia, Okananagan and Coast Salish from BC and Makah, Warm Springs and Spokane from the US) and photographs, both historical and modern, as well as personal family pictures from the authors. |
