Keynote Address Jeremy FiveCrows , Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
I was born and raised on the Nez Perce Indian reservation . I grew up traveling throughout the Nez Perce homeland with my family on hunting , fishing , and berry-picking trips . These travels instilled in me a strong sense of place and a dedication to preserving the environment . This was only increased when I saw the dedication to cherishing and protecting the environment of the people of Norway where I lived for two years . ( I think I can safely say that I might be the only Nez Perce Indian who is fluent in Norwegian .) I received a degree in Conservation Biology , which involved a lot of field studies along waterways in Utah and how essential water is , especially in deserts . With that degree , I hoped to do my part in helping protect and restore the environment . Today , I do this in a roundabout way by combining my understanding of the natural world with my interest in sharing stories to promote salmon , and river protection in the Columbia River basin . I have worked at CRITFC for 24 years and love sharing the message that salmon and healthy ecosystems are important not only to the tribes , but to everyone who calls this place home .
