    Episode Description

    For the 56th year the Yurok people in Klamath are celebrating the life blood of the region — the salmon that come charging up the river! This year the festival was very successful because the salmon were plentiful enough to be caught for this event — and were cooked in the traditional way making a very special lunch for many of us. The streets were lined with vendors and stores in the community were open and celebrating as well. Lena Hurd was busy weaving a basket in the booth that she was sharing with several others, many vendors were selling clothing with native designs, and I bought a beautiful fused glass dish with a raven design (and sure enough I called raven to my house with that bowl because he is visiting constantly and has lots to say!). There was some fantastic music with a live band and a parade down the main street.
