Scha'nexw Elhtal'nexw Salmon People: Preserving a Way of Life

By Darrell Hillaire and Beth Pielert. A production of Children of the Setting Sun Productions in partnership with Vision Maker Media.

PREMIERING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4 at 8/7c

Despite wildfire smoke and a depleting fishery, Lummi families fish for sockeye salmon. The film, which explores the deep spiritual and cultural connection between the Lummi and salmon, lifts values of respect, gratitude and sharing as they are passed onto the next generation. Through the Scha'nexw Elhtal'nexw, the "Salmon People," we learn that protecting salmon and this lifeway is a full-time job.
