Tribal leaders work to preserve these sacred spaces and the cultural connection that spans millennia.

The NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is investing $240M to help tribal salmon hatcheries from California to Alaska. The Lummi Nation's story shows how vital these facilities are: as fish vanish from their rivers, their hatcheries helped grow their Chinook salmon from just 9 fish in 2015 to 3,000 by 2021. These hatcheries aren't just preserving salmon populations — they're protecting cultural traditions and fulfilling treaty promises. The first $54M in grant funding is already flowing to 27 tribes, with more available in 2025. Tribal Business News has this story. #TribalHatcheries #SalmonConservation #IndigenousRights
