PrefaceFrom time immemorial, the original inhabitants of the Pacific Northwesthave been recognized as eloquent orators. Written documentsand records, however, can be lacking. To capture the contribution ofthe subject, Where the Salmon Run: The Life and Legacy of Billy FrankJr. relies on oral history interviews with the Nisqually elder and thosewho know him best. Conversations with family, allies, and onetimecombatants illuminate a divisive chapter on the rivers of this regionand a story of the salmon that continues to this day. This book is toldlargely from the perspective of Billy Frank Jr. and other tribal leaders.It is in no way a comprehensive history of the fish wars or the comanagementof natural resources that followed.ix
