Ajouté : 2026-05-12

[00:00:29]Hello Americans and other friends and subscribers around the world. A human.

[00:00:36]Today we are getting ready to head down to the Salmon River for the salmon ceremony.

[00:00:45]So, I'm sure we'll be filming along the way.

[00:00:50]So, here we go.

[00:00:52]So, just getting getting some fuel and notice that they still haven't changed the tags from 10% to 15%.

[00:01:05]So, I would assume that it's still 10% that they can't They better not, man. It should tell you if it's 15%.

[00:01:18]So, I'm curious about that.

[00:01:24]Almost there.

[00:01:43]Pretty quiet here this time.

[00:01:46]Usually there's a lot more folks.

[00:01:50]Yeah, we brought her with us.

[00:01:54]We brought her for our entertainment.

[00:02:02]Such a nerd.

[00:02:06]Also, he'll start putting on a show now.

[00:02:09]I'm on video.

[00:02:11]Oh, yeah.

[00:02:23]She did it, though.

[00:02:25]>> [laughter] >> I guarantee that's cold stuff.

[00:02:48]What a strange job.

[00:02:52]It's my girl.

[00:03:01]Okay.

[00:03:03]Yeah, that was fully rigged boxing.

[00:03:05]Okay.

[00:03:07]Sounds like Okay.

[00:03:14]So, did you guys didn't used to be salmon rafters?

[00:03:32]Did you see a road training trip so bad?

[00:03:36]yesterday. Yeah. yesterday. And I did a Yeah, I am I got to pick up I got to pick I just put it on the map. my life.

[00:03:57]What's going to happen?

[00:03:59]Back in the year 2000, we got to stand here and do this and fly back afterwards.

[00:04:05]We decided that maybe we should start just walking the sand back home.

[00:04:11]The foundational level of the spiritual level to get all the commercial buildings and just be one on one with the sand.

[00:04:22]Um I might have been a little naive in the sense that everything really is connected.

[00:04:30]So, by not like ignoring the politics, which is really fundamentally what determines what the news is going to happen out here.

[00:04:40]I'm sorry, but it's just part of the deal. You've got to keep it in mind, especially with the current administration that's just undoing a lot of the protections we've had in the fishing industry. online, clean air and water, everything else.

[00:04:53]They're dismantling everything, including democracy.

[00:04:56]Unfortunately, they need to dismantle some more, like the Morgan dams. So, luckily, we have There you go.

[00:05:03]We have some that have been dismantled on the Klamath.

[00:05:06]And so, which is a good lead for what else can be done. So, we haven't given up hope that maybe we can still dismantle a few more.

[00:05:15]So, in that sense, get in the boat and we'll do four circles.

[00:05:25]The first circle is all paid to film.

[00:05:27]With the next three, put your cameras away. No fair. No fair filming that.

[00:05:33]And then, then once we do the circle, we will come back here and we'll have a talking circle here where you can introduce yourself and just say whatever you want or not nothing at all.

[00:05:47]Whatever, it doesn't matter and then uh then we have potluck with friends at my place friends and one of my friends so that guess that but anyway so I can make it but anyway so that's the general program keep your people sort of getting in the box he's going to smudge us with sage in the circle here so be sure you get smudge before we get out That's what Echo did by the way right there.

[00:08:03]>> We're going to be going home That's good.

[00:08:10]We got one Jerry, that's my uncle.

[00:08:15]I got to go.

[00:09:58]>> Big water bowl.

[00:10:05]All right, so it's the next next morning.

[00:10:10]Ready to get after it. But went down the salmon ceremony.

[00:10:17]Didn't film too dang much. There wasn't a the as many folks there this this time. It was kind of kind of intimate, kind of, you know, just small. So, I just didn't end up filming as much as I did the last time.

[00:10:33]You can look back on my videos 5 years ago.

[00:10:36]I think is when it was and uh there's more there and then uh you know, the elder that usually comes to it wasn't able to make it because of uh bunch of other kind of political crap that the Nez Perce were involved in and things going on. So, wasn't able to make it. So, that was a little heartbreaking.

[00:11:05]But uh but it was great, man. So, uh I'll be back again next year. If you're ever in Salmon during the the Saturday before Mother's Day, uh that's when it's when they do it. So, you know, it's to welcome the the fish or the salmon and stuff.

[00:11:25]Welcome Welcome them back.

[00:11:28]It's getting harder and harder for them to make it up that river.

[00:11:31]Good lord willing and them creeks don't rise, we'll be back again tomorrow. There you are.
