Quotes


As the Wild Salmon Caravan has grown into a powerful social movement, much like the spirit of Mardi Gras, it has become impossible to name and acknowledge every individual who has contributed during the months of planning leading up to each journey. While we may not be able to mention every name, please know that our hearts are filled with deep gratitude for the countless people who have given their time, energy, and creativity over the years.

We are overwhelmed with appreciation for all the gifts you have brought—whether through your physical presence, your thoughtful contributions, or your spiritual support. Your beautiful expressions of love, and your commitment to truth and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, our lands, territories, and waters, have been the driving force behind the success of the Wild Salmon Caravan.

For anyone whose name may not be mentioned, please know that you are held in our deepest gratitude. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Thank You!
