Idaho tribal group
advocates dam removal
The state of the salmon popu-
lation in Idaho’s Snake River was
the topic of a passionate discussion
during a conference hosted by
members of Idaho’s Nez Perce
Indian tribe over the weekend.
The Northwest used to be home
to some of the world’s largest
salmon runs.
“The resiliency of the salmon
is so beautiful that I liken the Na-
tive American to the salmon story,”
Nez Perce Tribe Chairman Mary
Jane Miles said.
Miles spoke on a panel discus-
sion hosted by Nimi’ipuu Protect-
ing the Environment, a tribal group
advocating for the environment.
They highlighted the impact of
four federal dams on salmon runs
in the lower Snake River.
According to Nimi’ipuu, the
federal government has invested
more than $15 billion on salmon
recovery, without success.
The group said dam removal is
necessary to restore the salmon
population under sovereign rights
outlined in a treaty signed in 1855
between the Nez Perce Tribe and
the U.S. Government.
