📍 In person at the Chiloquin Community Center
💻 Zoom option available

Warm food and drinks provided for those attending in person. This is an informal community gathering, not a ceremonial event.

For generations, our people have carried these waters in our memory even when the salmon were gone. Now they’ve come home. Their work is done, and ours continues.

10/18/2025

There’s a legal difference between c’yaals returning to a watershed and salmon returning to treaty waters. One’s ecology. The other’s federal law. But the highest law is spiritual, and the c’yaals never forgot where home is.

On October 14, the same date our ancestors signed the Treaty of 1864, salmon were documented in the Sprague River for the first time in over a century.

That is not coincidence.
That is spiritual law in motion.

The ODFW post below shows tagged salmon reaching the Williamson and Sprague Rivers, right here in the Klamath Tribes’ treaty territory, near Medicine Rock.

For our people, this is not just biology or policy. These salmon did not just come back. They came home on the very day our treaty was signed so we can fulfill our spiritual obligations to them.

Salmon are making exciting progress in their return to the upper Klamath Basin! In the past few weeks, salmon have hit a series of firsts and reached areas where they have been absent for over a century.

ODFW and The Klamath Tribes have been monitoring salmon’s return since four hydroelectric dams were removed last year. In recent weeks, tagged salmon have been detected at Link River Dam and in the Williamson and Sprague Rivers. That means salmon are navigating upper Klamath Lake and making it to abundant spawning habitat in the Williamson River and elsewhere in the upper Basin.

The scenario playing out is exactly what ODFW, Tribes and many conservation partners had been working towards and hoping for when the dams came out.

Less than 0.3% of foundation dollars go to Native communities leading to a cycle of underfunding.

Let that sink in and let’s rewrite that story by supporting Native-led change at GiveNative.org.

Proud to see some of our team representing Honor the Treaty of 1864 at the Nonprofit Association of Oregon Conference this week!

We’re all about building capacity, strengthening tribal advocacy, and showing up in spaces that support Indigenous-led change. This conference is a powerful opportunity to learn from others across the state and deepen our work through board development, leadership training, nonprofit operations, and financial oversight.

Our team is attending sessions on everything from board recruitment, conflict resolution, and major donor strategies to grant writing, advocacy, and supporting strong financial systems all focused on strengthening the foundation of our organization and amplifying our mission.

Special thanks to Seeding Justice, your support helps us invest in our leadership and continue building a movement rooted in sovereignty and community strength. Grateful for opportunities like this to grow, connect, and keep building.
