Tŝilhqot'in National Go... Market Share Analysis for July 2026

This week, Tŝilhqot’in Nits’ilʔin-Qi (Chiefs) are attending the Pacific Salmon Commission in Portland, Oregon to call on the Alaskan 104 Fishery to stop intercepting vulnerable salmon stocks bound for the Tŝilhqot’in territory. Existing data from Alaska demonstrates that the fishery has significant impacts on Fraser River stocks in years of low returns, with impacts on both First Nations fisheries and conservation. During extreme conservation measures that restrict Canadian and Washington harvest, the Alaskan District 104 Fishery continues to harvest these salmon without limit. This has a concerning impact on the food security of the Tŝilhqot’in people and is a clear infringement of Tŝilhqot’in Aboriginal rights, and the rights of all First Nations who depend on these stocks for their food, social and ceremonial needs.
