Salmon People

Contrasting ancient myth and modern reality, this short documentary examines the legendary relationship between West Coast Indians and salmon, once their staple food. In the mythical realm, we learn how Raven finds riches in the harvest of the salmon, only to lose everything through a thoughtless act against the Spirit of the Salmon. So too does modern man jeopardize his living from the sea by heedless action. (nfb.ca)
