Overhead view of the Spokane River, where adult Chinook salmon were released during a multi-tribal ceremonial fish release. During 2022 National American Fisheries Society, many scientists and citizens took part in a ceremonial fish release. Adult Chinook salmon are currently blocked by dams and unable travel upstream to their historic range.
