Women in the Wilderness | Exploring the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness - Tongass National Forest
SCS spent thirteen years advocating for establishment of West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness, located in southeast Alaska. During this time, SCS’s founding members led trips into the wilderness in hopes of passing on their love for the natural environment of the Chichagof coast and the Tongass’s temperate rainforest. Today, SCS continues to foster relationships with the lands, waters, and environment of the Tongass National Forest by helping people connect with the wilderness through video documentaries, photography, writings, and wilderness excursions.
In June, 2015, six women from SCS set out on an all-women’s wilderness expedition to retrace routes traveled by SCS pioneers in West Chichagof-Yakobi. While kayaking, they explored both their individual relationships with the land and their roles as women working in conservation. This video, made by SCS intern and US Forest Service wilderness steward Lione Clare, highlights the women's reflections about their experience in the West-Chichagof wilderness.

    If you want to learn how to prepare, store, dry, and 101 uses of salmon bones, spend some time with the Tlingit. Tip: The first thing you need to figure out is Tlingit time. They don't cram things into an organizer. Kind of like island time. Set aside a few days, let them be concerned about the clock, and they'll show you the best vacation you've ever had.

    I live in Alaska currently, lived in Southeast Alaska for a decade plus. This video is pure propaganda, engineered to pull at your heart strings and play upon your emotions. This video claims to speak for “all Alaskans“ and it most certainly does not. In the world of reality, pragmatic thought dies a slow death. Salmon are not the hub that the world rotates around, need to be protected, yes. Need to generate one sided propaganda nonsense such as this? Definitely not. Environmental groups in Alaska are generally run by individuals from outside our state, or that just recently transplanted here. A very small percentage of our state depends on salmon, videos like this depict salmon as the air we breathe, and that is 100% bullshit. Everything about this video is crafted around a specific narrative, and that narrative is not reality.

    The salmon is one of the most vital species on this planet , the life it brings is one of the greatest of all resources. The life around it depends on its cycle of existence to exist. I remember in my local rivers in and around Yosemite, how are Salmon population used to be so abundant back in the 80s and into the 90s now it is so depleted you're lucky to see 20 to 30 fish a season come back into are systems. It was so awesome to walk into our rivers and get pushed aside by migrating fish , I remember catching a 40lb fish , sadly, those days are gone . America today needs to change its practice and outcome of the future of our fisheries, but it's a up hill battle because of the lack of education and willingness to protect those fisheries due to people that feel its more important to use up the waters to feed crops, livestock along with human development and Usage of such a resource. I imagine these fish will end up losing altogether, but so will the life on this planet because of greed . They need to implement laws that can not be changed in protecting waterways , fishtrees, and regulations regardless of what politicians' governments and corporations want..

    I can't wait to see Disney make a heart wrenching Salmon fish like Nemo. Their longing to return back to the same place where they were born and make it their final resting place ,the struggles they face mang predators along the way ,the struggles to jump over the high cliff,their fasting for a year,the sacrifice of their life after spawning just to feed the wildlife or contribute nutrients to the eco system that birth them is just one of the most inspiring,amazing and out of this world. I think Salmon are the most intelligent fish I've ever known. I seriously hope Disney will make a hearth warming and emotional movie of a "Salmon Journey back home" I would love to watch
