Description
The Strong People chronicles the largest dam removal project in U. S. history on the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Told through the eyes of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, the film looks specifically at how the dams have affected the life ways of the Klallam people. The disruption the dams caused to the river's salmon runs were not only an economic disaster for the tribe, who relied on the fish for commerce, but also wreaked havoc on the Klallam's cultural beliefs, of which the salmon are in integral part. There is controversy around what should be done to restore the salmon: should they be allowed to return naturally, thereby delaying the Klallam's hopeful return to prosperity for even longer, or should the salmon be artificially injected into the environment, expediting the salmon's return, but irrevocably altering the river's ecosystem. There is a dense and intriguing layer of environmental and cultural issues at play as the Klallam Tribe, National Park Service, U. S. Government, and other agencies attempt the second largest restoration project in the United States to bring salmon back to the mighty Elwha.
