An important contribution to theBy EJMFascinating account of an important project. Ms. Mays love and respect for the people and the land comes through eloquently. A must read for anyone who cares about Earth and its inhabitants; human or animal.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and Ive never heard anyone else mention anything like what I experienced until I read this bookBy CustomerI just got this book for school and had to read the first part of it; but I cant put it down. I have lived in the area for a long time and am studying fisheries; and have always felt a calling to protect the salmon. I even dreamed of the Spirit of the Salmon; and Ive never heard anyone else mention anything like what I experienced until I read this book. It is more than just about theater; in fact; the play is about what is happening in real life; and unless youre like Pinnochio and dont want to be a real boy anymore; its time to take a stand and take back what is rightfully ours regardless of religion race or creed; the rivers and streams dont belong to us; only the mission to protect them.
