Bull Trout, Tribal People, and the Jocko River

"We Were Wealthy From the Water"

In the beginning, when I saw this land, it was beautiful. This land was good…all our water, our creeks were flowing along good…It is there in the water—that is where there were many animals—fish and other things. And by that, we were wealthy from the water. Mitch Smallsalmon, Salish-Pend d'Oreille Culture Committee

Join us as we explore water and its importance to the life of the Jocko River valley, from the dogwoods and alders on the river’s banks to the bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout that swim in its pools and riffles. Learn about the Salish and Pend d’Oreille people that call the river valley home, their traditional use of the river, and their efforts to restore and protect it. Journey with us as we take a close-up look at the river’s hydrology, its natural history, and the role that humans have played in the valley since time immemorial.
