Sneak Peak: Shadow of the Salmon film

Shadow of the Salmon docu-drama

The link below is to the 2 minute trailer of the film, "Shadow of the Salmon." The hour-long docu-drama will be completed in about four weeks and is being scheduled for a national broadcast as well as screening in Seattle and in the Smithsonian's National Museum of The American Indian in Washington D.C. It will be distributed in conjunction with a new "Shadow of the Salmon" curriculum, to Middle Schools across the state.

Shadow of the Salmon, produced by 360 Productions, the Northwest Straits Commission, Salmon Defense, the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and the Potlatch Foundation, will introduce Cody Ohitika--a 15 year old boy from Pine Ridge who comes to visit the Coastal Salish part of his family for the summer. In that summer he learns about life in the Pacific Northwest , experiencing a First Salmon Ceremony and Canoe Journey. He learns about the environment and salmon management from his Uncle Ray and Aunt Fran and the tribal elders and ultimately helps respond to a tragic oil spill in the river. Cody learns a lot that summer, and takes important steps toward manhood, then returns home wiser and stronger for the experience. Through Cody's eyes, Middle School students and broader audiences will also learn--about the great shadow of importance cast by the Pacific Northwest Salmon. Be sure to watch for "Shadow of the Salmon."
