The sun just started to rise over the Columbia River in Bridgeport, Washington, when a Colvile fisherman caught the first salmon of the season.
“Every year we acknowledge our first foods, and it's like a pay-it-forward-process,” said Darnell Sam, the Salmon Chief and a member of the Sn’ps’quosa tribe, which is part of the Colville Confederated Tribes.

The Salmon run is a wonderful thing, so many people and animals rely on the Salmon's return every year.
