Removing Snake River Dams Has Immeasurable Value by Mike Dahlstrom East Oregonian, March 2, 2024

Growing up in Alaska, our family relied heavily on salmon as a staple. I also was raised to respect and honor the Indigenous members within our community.

The value of increasing efforts to remove the four lower Snake River dams is immeasurable. As a sport fisherperson, I recognize the value of bringing native salmon and steelhead back from the brink of extinction as a moral and ethical endeavor. Bringing back Indigenous rights to their cultural heritage and meeting the treaties is a regional and national obligation.
