Lapwai, ID –  The Nez Perce Tribe emphasized that it continues to focus – in vision and action – on what our people see as core truths: 1) the status of salmon, steelhead, and lamprey is dire; 2) the four concrete barriers on the lower Snake river have had - and continue to have - a devastating impact on the fish and on tribal people; 3) restoring the lower Snake River to a natural river and eliminating these barriers that stand between the largely-pristine habitat in the Salmon, Snake, and Clearwater basins is the cornerstone to rebuilding returns along with ongoing hatchery and habitat actions; and 4) as dire as the situation already is, these fish may have even less time given the looming impact of a warming climate.
