"The Elwha Klallam people, who suffered the most devastating effects of dam construction — and who worked for generations to see the dams removed — began a limited ceremonial and subsistence fishery on the river in 2023. The youngest generation of Elwha people are now growing up with a productive salmon stream, and like countless generations before them, welcome the return of salmon with prayers and celebrations." - https://rewilding.org/what-the-river-teaches-ten-years-after-dam-removal-on-the-elwha-river/
