In their creation story, the Nez Perce forged a pact with the salmon. The tribe would be the voice of the fish on earth. In turn, the salmon would provide for their people. That connection, sustained for millennia, has been damaged in the wake of broken treaties and the degradation of tribal waters. In the 50 years since their construction, four dams on the lower Snake River—built without the consent of the Nez Perce—have trampled Indigenous rights and driven the river’s wild salmon and steelhea

Nez Perce Treaty Fishers still use ancient methods from time immemorial. Gaffing is one of those methods. It takes a soft touch and quick reflexes. The first swipe I found the salmon by moving the gaff carefully through the hole. The gaff softly touches the salmon letting me know exactly where it is, while not scaring it away. The second swipe proved accurate. #nezpercetiktok #nativetiktok #treatyrights #wearestillhere #salmon #fishing #tradition #nativeamerican #indigenous #nezperce #nimiipuu
