My time abroad provided a wealth of encounters with indigenous cultures across the Andes, deepening my appreciation for the resilience, creativity and joy of the human spirit. Here at home, I have put together a couple new video clips to add to the Native Perspectives on Sustainability series. It is with great pleasure I share the first of these, Shared Responsibility(3:57) featuring Roberta Conner (Cayuse). In this clip, Conner reflects on the longstanding ties between her people and the region and the current reality that "the problems and the gifts are a mutually inherited set" which call for shared responsibility. Beyond this clip and the one to follow my energies will be focused on other responsibilities, but there remains the possibility of expanding the scope of this work down the line. Thanks for your attention, support and good work! Be well, David -- David E.

Please check it out, click "Like," share with your friends and post your thoughts. With the heart of the fall Salmon runs just around the corner, I am pleased to present *Importance of Salmon * (2:51) featuring Carol Craig (Yakama). In acknowledging the many relations upon which her people depend, Craig acknowledges the special place of Salmon and recounts the leadership of the Yakama Nation in the effort to bring Salmon back to the Yakima River. To read another brief account about the importance of Wy-Kan-ush (Salmon) to the indigenous peoples of the region, see this page from the Columbia River Intertribal Fish Commission (CRITFC). Click here for a short articlefrom the Bauu institute reinforcing the importance of Salmon and providing a thumbnail sketch of the history of the NW tribes and their fishing rights since the signing of the 1855 treaties. For a scientific perspective on the importance of Salmon to larger conservation efforts, check out the rationale for the focus of The Wild Salmon Center . Last but not least, take action by sending a messageto the Obama Administration and Congress (made easy by the good folks at Save Our Wild Salmon). Thanks and be well, David -- David E.
