River Dams Have Decimated the Chinook Salmon Population

Lostine, the new short film from Shane Anderson and the nonprofit Pacific Rivers, highlights the powerful story of collaboration between the Nez Perce Tribe and Woody Wolfe, a sixth-generation rancher in Wallowa, Oregon. Wolfe’s land abuts the confluence of the Wallowa and Lostine Rivers, where salmon populations have been decimated by a series of dams. Together, he and Nez Perce tribal leaders are trying to restore the river and its wildlife.
