where the salmon run - Washington Secretary of State

Preface
From time immemorial, the original inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest
have been recognized as eloquent orators. Written documents
and records, however, can be lacking. To capture the contribution of
the subject, Where the Salmon Run: The Life and Legacy of Billy Frank
Jr. relies on oral history interviews with the Nisqually elder and those
who know him best. Conversations with family, allies, and onetime
combatants illuminate a divisive chapter on the rivers of this region
and a story of the salmon that continues to this day. This book is told
largely from the perspective of Billy Frank Jr. and other tribal leaders.
It is in no way a comprehensive history of the fish wars or the comanagement
of natural resources that followed.
