Intrigued that there is still a place in the world where the lives of people and wild salmon are
inextricably linked, writer and photographer Amy Gulick ventured to Alaska to explore the web
of human relationships that revolve around these extraordinary fish. Commercial fishermen
took her on as crew; Alaska Native families taught her the art of preserving fish and culture; and
sport fishing guides showed her where to cast her line as well as her mind. Alaskans
everywhere shared their salmon riches with her in their kitchens, cabins, and fish camps—it’s
the salmon way.

Join Amy as she shares engaging stories and stunning images from her award-winning book,
The Salmon Way: An Alaska State of Mind. She’ll also talk about the exciting opportunity in the
Pacific Northwest to restore salmon and ways of life in the Snake River of the Columbia Basin.
