"It's really emotional when you go to one of those salmon releases because the spirit of all those salmon that get to be released...it touches your heart." - Andy Joseph Jr., Colville Business Council Chairman

"I hope Murray and Inslee come see the Middle Fork this spring. If they come, they will remember. They will also better know what Idaho mountain salmon can do for people, justice, orcas, and resilience in Washington, if the lower Snake River is freed."

The Four Lower Snake River Dams have imperiled our salmon populations. Meet those dams, and learn about their impacts, on our website- and then get involved. https://t.co/UNH6MGJp1o

Shout out to Garen Gudgell, an indigenous 8th grader from Boise, who wrote into his local paper to emphasize the cultural and environmental impact the Snake River dams have on our salmon. The youth are the truth! https://t.co/XA0JdzVCHV

This year, set the resolution of being a river ally. Stand with us in calling for the removal of the lower Snake River Dams, and setting our sacred Naxiyam Wana free. https://t.co/0Z8oq8TyQc

Finally, it reaches its terminus at the confluence with the snake in a section known as 'The Lower'

The Salmon River is born in the alpine lakes surrounding the Sawtooth Mountains in Stanley, Idaho. The cold, clear water that flows from these lakes is the ideal spawning habitat for Sockeye and Chinook Salmon.

From there, the river flows through the Frank Church Wilderness in the heart of Idaho

"This is the conclusion that most of the scientific community has come to after trying basically everything else. It's just clear that Snake River fish aren't going to recover with those 4 dams in place." - Miles Johnson, @ColumbiaRKeeper
