SUMMARY:From the Snake to the Sea: An Evening Celebrating Our Shared Work and Supporting Washington TU Featuring Keynote Speaker Nez Perce Chairman Shannon Wheeler
DESCRIPTION:Connect with hundreds of dedicated conservationists and partners at the Washington TU banquet and fundraiser. We’ll start the night off with a cocktail reception\, appetizers\, networking and prize perusal\, followed by dinner featuring our keynote speaker\, Nez Perce Chairman Shannon Wheeler. \nWheeler\, an affable and extremely capable leader\, is the seventh of 11 children raised to hard-working parents in Lapwai\, Idaho. After a successful entrepreneurial and business career spanning everything from owning multiple convenience stores in the region\, to graphic design and screen printing\, at 56\, Wheeler has risen as the voice for salmon and for his people. \nWheeler’s perspective is an angler’s perspective. He grew up on the rivers and streams\, fishing with his family. The Selway\, the South Fork Salmon River\, Big Creek\, the Seesch\, Rapid River. \nToday he is one of the leading advocates for the opportunity that Representative Mike Simpson’s “Northwest in Transition” proposal presents for his tribe\, as well as the other tribes of the Columbia Basin. But he also believes that great opportunity lies ahead for the agricultural community\, transporters and river communities in the Snake River Basin. But the fish need to come back and they can only come back if the dams come down. All four of the Lower Snake Dams. \nLater in the evening the volunteer Embrace A Stream Committee will share the results of their annual grant awards meeting that day and celebrate the dozens of local chapter conservation projects receiving funding. \nA hybrid in-person and online auction and sweepstakes will help raise funds for important TU work done by volunteers from the Washington Council\, local Washington TU chapters and the Northwest Youth Conservation Fly Fishing Academy. \nThis event requires “all inclusive” registration\, Saturday registration or separate meal purchase.

SUMMARY:Covenant of the Salmon People Film Showing and Film Maker/ Producer Panel
DESCRIPTION:Covenant of the Salmon People expands on the creation story of the Nimiipuu\, where before humans were created animals could speak. The salmon was the first to give of themselves to provide nourishment for the people\, in return the people would always protect and speak on their behalf. Today\, the Tribe is at a pivotal point in their fight to protect and restore several species of salmon that are near extinction. \n  \n“Genetically salmon has imprinted on our DNA\,” said Nakia Williamson\, Nez Perce Tribe Cultural Resources Director. “Now we are only left with a handful of places that have the numbers of salmon that we can actually fish and continue that way of life.” \n  \nThe homelands of the Nimiipuu span across modern day Idaho\, Washington\, Oregon and Montana. This includes major waterways and tributaries\, including the Snake River\, where four dams threaten the future of salmon and the tribe. From the beginning\, the Nimiipuu contested the construction of the dams\, yet despite their cries of concern the dams were built. Today\, mere single digit percentages of salmon return to their natural spawning grounds\, after having to pass through eight dams including the four dams on the Lower Snake River. \n  \nToday\, the Tribe continues to speak and fight for salmon by leading the effort to breach the four Lower Snake River Dams. The Tribe is prepared to do the work that needs to be done to make this a reality; putting the salmon first and making all affected parties whole by doing things differently and working toward a stronger Northwest. \n  \n“This film will cover the perspectives of all our people\, not just us as policy makers and staff\, but also our tribal elders\, men\, women and children. After all\, this is a fight for the Nez Perce Tribe and each individual tribal member who is at risk of losing a part of their culture\, and a part of their identity\,” said Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee Chairman\, Samuel Penney. “Our method of fighting to protect the salmon has evolved over the years\, but the work has never stopped\, and never will\, until we can ensure the protection of these species and the return of their historical numbers.” \n  \nCovenant of the Salmon People will share perspectives and stories from the Nimiipuu and expand into the modern-day “wars” that continue in order to uphold their covenant. \n  \n“I have to say\, when is enough\, enough? We have turned as many dials for salmon recovery as we are capable of doing\,” said Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee Chairman\, Shannon Wheeler. “Our back is against the wall. We need to turn some of the larger dials\, and some of the larger dials include dam breaching. Now\, more than ever our voice needs to be amplified for salmon and for the rest of the environment\,” continued Chairman Wheeler. “We will never forget our covenant with the salmon.” \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind with Amy Gulick & Nelli Williams
DESCRIPTION:The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind\nCo-presenters: Amy Gulick & Nelli Williams \nIntrigued that there is still a place in the world where the lives of people and salmon are linked\, photographer and author Amy Gulick traveled throughout Alaska to explore the web of human relationships that revolve around these extraordinary fish. Commercial fishermen took her on as crew; Alaska Native families taught her the art of preserving fish and culture; and sport fishing guides showed her where to cast her line as well as her mind. Alaskans everywhere shared their salmon riches with her in their kitchens\, cabins\, and fish camps—it’s the salmon way. Gulick’s book\, The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind\, is the winner of an Independent Publisher Book Award\, a Nautilus Book Award\, an INDIES Book of the Year Award\, and has been named a Best Indie Book by Kirkus Reviews. \nGulick will share stories and images from her book\, together with the lessons we can all learn from Alaska’s salmon people. She’ll be joined by Nelli Williams\, the Alaska Director of Trout Unlimited\, who will discuss the conservation achievements and ongoing work to protect salmon habitat in the waters of Alaska\, including Bristol Bay\, the Tongass National Forest\, and the transboundary rivers of Alaska and British Columbia. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Restoring Urban Watersheds and Fostering Tomorrow’s Conservationists
DESCRIPTION:In the most densely populated and diverse area of Washington\, TU is working to connect urban dwellers with nature\, inspire stewardship of our shared watersheds\, and improve habitat and water quality for native fish – in particular\, Lake Sammamish Kokanee Salmon. At the heart of King County\, the Lake Washington Basin is made up of Lake Washington\, Lake Sammamish\, Cedar River\, and Sammamish River. With Seattle just a few miles away and major population centers lining the lake shores and river fronts\, the basin faces the significant challenges AND opportunities associated with urban growth: a changing ecology\, diversifying population\, commercial and residential development\, increased recreation\, and the amplified effects of climate change. \nSpearheading TU’s restoration and science activities in the basin\, David Kyle is working to improve habitat\, restore connectivity\, and advance research on aquatic weeds\, predators\, and disease. Bringing together non-profit\, city\, county\, federal\, and community partners\, Alix Lee-Tigner is leading TU’s efforts to expand community engagement by stewarding the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP). The UWRP’s mission is to work together to connect diverse local communities in the Seattle Metro area to nature and inspire people to care for the lake Sammamish watershed. \nDuring this session\, David and Alix will share about their work building relationships among partners and community members\, highlight on the ground projects\, and how they are moving the dial on neglected and forgotten environmental causes that are critical to salmon recovery in the watershed. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Climate Change Workgroup
DESCRIPTION:What effects will a changing climate have on the coldwater resources we all respect and enjoy? Climate change\, and the extent to which it is human-caused\, is a divisive issue; the Climate Change Workgroup respects that. Our goal is to develop an education and awareness program based upon the scientific background provided by TU staff and others. With adequate scientific understanding\, we all should be concerned about the impacts to our coldwater fishery resources. How much risk should we accept? Can we afford to risk the future of trout and salmon? \nThis session will feature a panel of experts\, including Helen Neville\, TU’s Senior Scientist; Lindsay Slater\, TU’s VP for Government Affairs; and Drew Eyerly\, Conservative Outreach Director for the Citizens Climate Lobby. \nThis session is open to all event attendees.
