The Legacy of Dams

What is the legacy of dams on the Columbia River? What would be the benefit of restoring salmon to the Columbia and reviving the health of the river? These are the questions considered in the latest volume of the Confluence journal Voices from the River. Volume 2 of our journal explores the Columbia River system’s history, living cultures, and ecology through Indigenous voices. Dr. David Lewis led the development of our second volume as the Lead Editor. In this episode, we speak to Dr. Lewis, artist Chanti Manon, and Managing Editor Lily Hart.
