We were wealthy from the water,” Mitch Smallsalmon says, and like all the tribal elders, he speaks to our understanding of the natural world and the consequences of change. In this book the wisdom of the elders is passed on to the young as the story of the Jocko River, the home of the bull trout, unfolds for a group of schoolchildren on a field trip.
"Bull Trout's Gift," which follows an Arlee fifth-grade classroom on a field trip to the Jocko River, is the illustrated hardcover book.
"Explore the River: Bull Trout, Tribal People and the Jocko River" is the interactive, and intricate, multimedia DVD (which contains, the book as well).
