Rivers of Resilience — The River Remembers

Join us for a screening of The River Remembers, a documentary that follows Tribal members of the Elwha and lower Klamath Rivers as they lead the largest dam removals in U.S. history, restoring salmon and renewing culture after a century of struggle. The film is a story of resilience and hope, showing that when rivers heal people heal too. Anchored in the experiences of Vanessa Castle and Frankie and Molli Meyers, the film braids together intimate family stories and select sweeping historical battles: parents teaching their children to fish, catastrophic salmon kills that galvanized action and generations who refused to give up a century-long fight. Hosted in partnership with the Whatcom Museum, Setting Sun Circle, and the Whatcom County Library System. This event is free to attend and will take place during the Whatcom Museum’s Free First Friday community access day. Seating will be available on a first come, first served basis.
