Some said it couldn’t be done. But it was done. And it’s being done. Little by little, bringing back the salmon.
For the first time in more than a century, sockeye salmon are returning to Lake Cle Elum high in the Cascades. The project led by the Yakama Indian tribe – on a bare bone’s budget – is getting applause across the continent. And this weekend, tribal members were there to witness something not seen in more than 100 years – sockeye salmon returning from the Pacific Ocean back home to Lake Cle Elum at last. So historic is this for the Yakama Tribe that they call it simply “the return.” Jeff Burnside reports.
