    • Abstract:
      The article discusses salmon, which are elemental to Indigenous peoples who live along North America's northwestern coast. After settlers came, their forms of agricultural and urban development devastated the salmon. The new inhabitants cut down streamside vegetation that once slowed and absorbed rains, causing floods. The cumulative impact of these injuries led to flash floods, unstable banks, heavy pollution, and waning life.
