2020 Silver Independent Publisher Book Award in West–Pacific, Best Regional Non-Fiction 2019 Silver Nautilus Award in Animals & Nature 2019 Silver Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in Nature Kirkus Reviews Best Indie Books of 2019 Alaskans have deeply personal relationships with their salmon. These remarkable fish provide a fundamental source of food, livelihood, and identity, and connect generations and communities throughout the state. Yet while salmon are integral to the lives of many Alaskans, the habitat they need to thrive is increasingly at risk as communities and decision makers evaluate large-scale development proposals. The Salmon Way celebrates and explores the relationships between people and salmon in Alaska. Through story and images, author Amy Gulick shows us that people from wildly different backgrounds all value a salmon way of life.
