The Si'lailo way : Indians, salmon, and law on the Columbia River

Dupris, Joseph C. (Author). Hill, Kathleen S. (Kathleen Shaye) (Added Author). Rodgers, William H., 1939- (Added Author).

Summary: "This book is about Indians "going to law" to protect both the salmon and their own inherent right to harvest them. They did this with an enthusiasm born of cultural, spiritual and economic desperation. For nearly 150 years the Indian people and Indian Tribes have been the eye in the center of a legal storm that contested the fate of the fisheries. They supplied the moral compass that guided this law to favor the fish. Slowly and imperfectly, their sympathetic view of the fisheries has been incorporated into law. This mission to protect the fish has not been won. It has not been lost. And it will never be abandoned."--BOOK JACKET.
