Like I posted before, Lostspirit, a waste of taxpayer's money; and to think these idiots who arrested the chief were paid "holiday" pay since it occurred on that particular day. Independence day--what a crock of sh..

“The Winnemem Wintu object to GE production, as it would certainly impact our obligation to salmon and would change the traditional responsibility to salmon and our relationship that exists for thousands of years. It is also the right of the tribes to expect the same engagement of the omega 3's to maintain a quality of health to traditionally exchange with the Winnemem Wintu, the trees, birds, animals, plants and soils as they purify the waters on each of their once in their life journey,” she concluded.

AquAdvantage salmon is the trade name for a genetically modified Atlantic salmon developed by AquaBounty Technologies. This “Frankensalmon” has been modified by the addition of a growth hormone regulating gene from a Pacific Chinook salmon and a promoter gene from an ocean eel pout to the Atlantic's 40,000 genes. These genes enable the “Frankensalmon” to grow year-round instead of only during spring and summer, thus increasing the speed at which the fish grows.

We are a traditional tribe who inhabits our ancestral territory from Mt. Shasta down the McCloud River watershed. When the Shasta Dam was constructed during World War II, it flooded our home and blocked the salmon runs.

The salmon are an integral part of our lifeway and of a healthy McCloud River watershed. We believe that when the last salmon is gone, humans will be gone too. Our fight to return the salmon to the McCloud River is no less than a fight to save the Winnemem Wintu Tribe.

As salmon people and middle water people we advocate for all aspects of clean water and the restoration of salmon to their natural spawning grounds.

On this link there's a six minute and a 14 minute trailer for the movie. If you have time I would highly recommend the 14 minute trailer so you can see what once was, what is and what will be. From Mount Shasta to New Zealand Sacred Ceremonies of the Winnemem Wintu and the Ngai Tahu Maori will return the salmon home.
