The changes witnessed by today's Salish and Pend d'Oreille elders over their lifetimes have been, by any measure, astonishing. Our elders grew up fishing alongside parents and grandparents who fished in the same way that their parents and grandparents fished. The streams they knew as children and young adults teemed with native fish, with breath-takingly large bull trout and abundant pure-strain westslope cutthroat trout. During spawning seasons, they traveled in family groups to the same places their ancestors had camped and fished for millenia. They caught fish and watched aunts and grandmothers split and dry them. During winter, they opened the parfleches that held the dried fish and enjoyed the abundance. In these interviews, the elders reflect on the changes they have seen over the last 70 to 80 years and the tragic toll our modern society has taken on our native fish.
