I read a news story recently about playing seascape sounds to attract oysters and it reminded me of a story a Salish friend told me. Salmon know what river to return to because, when they were little, their ancestors sang to them from the river bed, so they simply listen and follow that song home when it is their turn to spawn. It’s teachings like these, embedded in story and oral history that help me keep my sense of wonder as I get older. #pnw #indigenous #storywork
