Context
To have an informed conversation of the future, we must pause and reflect upon the
geographical and historical context in which this conversation occurs. This project focuses on the bio-region
defined by the range of where the Pacific Salmon run. The participating leaders of this project live within
this region, and their identity as indigenous people is inseparable from both the place and the history that
has unfolded here. In brief coverage of context of a large geographic region and historical time-scale,
generalities are inevitable and should not be taken to suggest homogeneity of place and peoples. With the truth
of diversity in mind there is intention here to establish a sense of commonality and interconnectedness of places
and stories across the region and over time.
