192. KINGS OF YUKON: THE HISTORY OF THE SALMON RUN

( )

The Yukon river is over 2,000 miles long, flowing northwest from Canada through Alaska to the Bering Sea. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of King salmon migrate the longest salmon run in the world. Adam Weymouth traces the profound interconnectedness of the local people and the fish to offer a powerful glimpse into the erosion of indigenous culture, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world.
