Lyana Patrick returns to her home territory, Stellat’en First Nation, to document a decades-long fight for justice. Alongside the Saik’uz First Nation, her community has battled Rio Tinto Alcan to restore the Nechako River and uphold their fishing rights. Since the 1951 construction of the Kemano Dam, the river's flow has dropped by 70%—devastating ecosystems and livelihoods. Flooded lands, industrial roads, and unchecked resource extraction have only deepened the damage. Despite the challenges, this multi-generational fight for eco-protection endures. As one river keeper says, “The way of the salmon is the only way forward.”
