Litany of Salmon
Dana Schuerholz
Litany of Salmon began as an art and research project by artist Eileen Klatt about extinct salmon of the Columbia River Bssin. Through collaboration with the artist, Vashon Green School students created a theatre piece for Earth Day 2022 in which the extinct salmon were honored and given a voice. Through art we transform the world. The litany performed was also a call to action. If we do not care for our ecosystems, our homes, the salmon will not return. This is the story told for generations by the first peoples of the Pacific Northwest. This is your next illustration for your main lesson book. You can add people that weren’t there or that you can’t see well. Stay tuned for the story of Earth Day 2022.
Vashon Green School and NW Artists Against Extinction collaborated in Litany of Salmon for Earth Day 2022 on Vashon. Through art we inspire and move people to take action. Save our salmon! Restore the Snake River and breach the dams!
