00:00
If you've never seen a river, a live river, you've really missed something.
00:09
In a corner of the Pacific Northwest, on the edge of the Olympic Peninsula, is a frontier
00:14
of giants.
00:16
Giant mountains, giant trees, and miles and miles of rivers.
00:23
Of all these rivers, it's the Elwha that Dick Gowen remembers.
00:29
The Elwha was one of the greatest, and a river came to life only when the salmon were in.
00:35
They were giants in the waters in those days.
00:40
I still look at it like what it was, even though that's only in my mind's eye.
00:52
As soon as they put the dams in, many things started to go right there.
00:59
Dams and fish just can't work together at all.
01:04
This effort to take the dams out, in the beginning, there weren't a lot of people that supported
01:10
it.
01:11
From decades of memories and data-filled notebooks, he incited a groundswell of voices against
01:16
dam special interests.
01:18
Tribal fishing rights were being violated.
01:20
The upper dam's license had long expired.
01:23
Pacific-run salmon were going extinct.
01:27
Some people never think of everything as connected, they just don't recognize it, particularly
01:32
when it means a sacrifice.
01:37
I believe that when we turn this thing loose, it's going to instantly be a hundred years
01:44
back.
01:45
It will.
