This five-day event starts at Kettle Falls\, Washington which is organized by the Inchelium Language House Association and then takes place in Castlegar\, Revelstoke\, and at McIntyre Dam in BC and Enloe Dam in Washington on successive dates. These locations were chosen for their traditional location our people used to gather at to fish. Both these days start by gathering along the banks of the river to pray for the return of the fish. Everyone is welcome to attend\, so please bring your drum and help us pray for the return of the salmon. Registration is not needed.\n\n\n\nFor more information and Google Map links to each location\, please visit: https://syilx.org/events/salmon-calling-ceremony/
