7/22/17 end of people of the big river field trip and had to get up early to check traps, pack, check inventory, breakfast/lunch making, and final blogs. Its half way done, but still a long travel time, I predict that its going to be about 8 or 9 when we get to the valley. its my mothers birthday weekend, so I am kind of impatient today. either way today shall be fun, we shall make it fun. no pictures today. I was charging my phone, so I couldn't get one of the 17 geese by the water this morning. Also, this morning there was a stupid prank, someone put honey on the steering wheels of at least two cars. not like just a touch, but an amount that was too heavy and went all over the seat and floor. it was a disappointment.

7/20/17 we went to the Cour D' alene Casino to meet Quanah and Dave Matheson. they talked to us about the relationships between the people and the environment. Along with pollution issues within the developing indian countries across the land. dams affecting food, fires burning up the reservation, air pollution, oil spills, coal transportation, and floods/droughts. everything reflects back to climate change, mitigating the affects of it, and dealing with cultural value loss. after talking to the father and son, we went back to camp.

The fishery program has 1000s of smolt growing in a single tank with more than 20 tanks. Although return rates are sort of low due to the dams. At Anderson Farm, they work for the wildlife program, both of these programs are about mitigation of the affects of climate change on the wildlife. Wildlife program does not really focus on the wildlife itself, but the enivironment they live in. The project they had going on was putting in fences for crops that are for the wildlife in the winter. They grow crops from spring to spring for the wildlife, such as corn. They told us that about 2 years ago, that 47 percent of the reservation was caught in a wild fire, that explains why when we were cruising, there was little amount of animals ar...
