RUN4SALMON CONTINUES FOR THE EIGHTH YEAR ALONG WITH SPECIFIC COVID PROTOCOLS.
WINNEMEM WINTU TRIBE & ALLIES CONTINUE SALMON RESTORATION JOURNEY WITH PROTECTIONS FOR INDIGENOUS ELDERS.
Run4Salmon, internationally recognized by the United Nations and a UNESCO Green Citizen Project, spans almost an entire month in 2023, and is accomplished through paddling, boating, biking, walking, horseback riding, running, and dancing. From July 8th to August 5th, Chief Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe along with Corrina Gould of the Lisjan Ohlone lead Run4Salmon in a ceremonial way to restore salmon to their ancestral home waters. It is a journey of 300 miles, starting on Mount Shasta, and ending at the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It follows the path of what was once a ‘salmon run’--from the spawning beds of Chinook salmon on the upper McCloud River, down the Sacramento River, through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and into the San Francisco Bay.
Run4Salmon 2023 Schedule:
— July 8 Run4Salmon 2023 Begins
— August 5 Run4Salmon 2023 Ends

MOUNT SHASTA, California – Covid protocols remain in place this year as the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, along with a collective of Indigenous women, activists, and allies embark on Run4Salmon, a 300-mile Prayer Journey to restore salmon to the Mount Shasta area for the eighth year in a row. WHO declared the Covid pandemic over this past May 2023, however, positive Covid cases continue in California.
Run4Salmon is protecting Tribal Elders who carry sacred Indigenous knowledge and traditions from any high risk of severe illness or death by continuing specific Covid protocols, and keeping the entire journey private. The public is invited to join Run4Salmon virtually through Social Media.

“The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, NOAA Fisheries and the Winnemem Wintu Tribe signed agreements to restore Chinook salmon to the mountains north of Redding, California, on May 1, 2023.
The agreements support a joint effort to return Chinook salmon to their original spawning areas in cold mountain rivers now blocked by Shasta Reservoir in northern California. The goal is an ecological and cultural restoration which will one day renew fishing opportunities for the tribe that depended on the once-plentiful salmon for food and much more.”
