the chinook salmon are AWOL! The projected return of 250, 000 fish has so far amounted to around 11,000 fish passing the ladder at bonneville dam on the columbia river.
notice of this story appeared recently on the front page of the sports section of the Oregonian.
couldn't the salmon get a mention on the Religion page? it is a vital part of various Native peoples seasonal celebrations, their rights spelled out in treaty and soverign law.
let our prayers, or best wishes, be with the salmon still at sea; wondering whether to make their celebrated runs, or just hang out at sea, and wait for us to evolve to the point where we're
worthy of their lives, their bodies which are numbers in our dreams.
