Yakama Nation Fisheries protect and restore the Columbia River, its tributaries and the species of fish and wildlife that it supports. Through more than 100 current projects, we restore habitat, ensure harvest, and supplement stocks with refined hatchery practices and by mitigating the effects of hydropower. Everyday, we work to honor, protect and restore the Columbia River for the good of the Yakama people and everyone in our region. We speak and work for the resources that are unable to speak for themselves.
