SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Salmon Warriors Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2026 Salmon Warriors Gathering \n  \nAPPLICATION DEADLINE: Mon. March 23\, 2026\nEVENT DATES: Mon. May 11 to Wed. May 13\, 2026\nLOCATION: Castlegar\, BC; Slocan\, BC; Revelstoke BC \nFILL OUT AND SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FORM AT THIS LINK BY MONDAY\, MARCH 23\, 2026 \n  \nYoung adults aged 19-29 from the Syilx Okanagan\, Secwépemc\, and Ktunaxa Nations are invited to join the first Salmon Warriors Spring Gathering\, May 11-13\, 2026. New and returning Salmon Warriors are encouraged to apply. This is a Tri-Nation Road Trip to witness and celebrate this year’s annual Salmon Fry Releases in the upper Columbia River region. \nGather with Elders and community members from all three Nations to help Okanagan Nation Alliance’s (ONA) kł cp̓əlk̓ stim̓  Hatchery and Fisheries Team release the fry that Salmon Warriors helped collect as eggs and fertilize during the annual Broodstock Collection in Fall 2025. \nDams have blocked our salmon from returning to the upper Columbia River for over 87 years; the salmon need their people. Apply now to join other young adults from our three Nations to learn and connect with one another\, the water\, and the land. Together\, we are enacting our shared and generational responsibility to return the salmon to their rightful and ancestral home in the upper Columbia region. \n  \nWHAT TO EXPECT: Full attendance and participation is required throughout. On Monday May 11\, we will carpool to Revelstoke and leave vehicles overnight in the Fairfield Inn Parking Lot. Salmon Warriors board the shuttle bus to Castlegar\, where we will stay the night at the Super 8. Teambuilding activities\, creating agreements\, and storytelling will help us get to know each other along the way. On Tuesday May 12 we will participate in salmon fry releases in Castlegar and Slocan\, and then travel to Revelstoke where we’ll stay overnight. On Wednesday\, May 13 we will join the morning salmon fry release in Revelstoke\, and then travel home. \n  \nSUPPORT: Hotel accommodation\, meals\, transport (from WFN)\, and a $500 honorarium will be provided. Bring warm clothing and be prepared to spend time outside by the river in cool spring weather. \nPlease watch this short video from a previous Salmon Warriors Gathering. \n
