"We are the salmon people. The first people taught us that there was a spirit in all things; the plants, the animals, the fish and the birds. We take a little of that spirit from whatever we eat. The first people; the people who were here before us; walked with powerful animal spirits at their elbows. They taught us the ways of the land we did not know, the secrets of survival." -- By Karla Fetrow
