This is a self contained 29 minute radio program. When TUC attended an Indian wedding in the Trinity Alps four young men arrived with a gift of freshly caught salmon. Maria watched their cooking ceremony and learned that they are Native American graduate students at the University of Oregon, Corvallis, who work as a team. They study aquatic ecology, conservation biology and salmon runs while maintaining a knowing and respectful connection to their native traditions. They refuse to be confined to university labs and spend much of their time doing field work, learning from elders. They lead regular salmon camps with Native American youth. NOTE: Out of respect for the work of Frank Lake we are asking that you get permission to broadcast from him by contacting us. (If you are one of the 55 stations that are regularly airing TUC Radio you do NOT need to contact us.) Thank you, Maria Gilardin .
