The histories and futures of Indigenous peoples and salmon are
inextricably bound across the vast ocean expanse and rugged
coastlines of the North Pacific. Keystone Nations addresses this
enmeshment and the marriage of the biological and social sciences
that have led to the research discussed in this book. Salmon stocks
and Indigenous peoples across the northern Pacific region represent
a significance beyond their size in maintaining the viability and
legitimacy of ecological and political systems. Both species’
futures are simultaneously a matter of the conservation concerns of
natural scientists and the political agenda of Indigenous
sovereignty movements that arc across the northern hemisphere. If
wild salmon vanish in the North Pacific, as they largely have in
the North Atlantic, their absence will herald the cascading failure
of a complete marine system. If Indigenous peoples vanish from the
North Pacific, as they largely have in the North Atlantic, their
absence will sound the failure of the world’s dominant political
powers to recognise the human right to cultural expression and
survival.
