During October, the banks of the
Adams River, 405 km inland from the
Pacific Ocean, become the scene of a natural
miracle.
Each fall, the quiet waters of the 12 km river welcome Sockeye
Salmon returning to their home waters to spawn. The fish are
completing a journey that takes them far out into the Pacific, then
upstream against swift currents and rapids all the way up to Alaska
and the Aleutian Islands and back again – traveling over 4,000 km
in their lifetime.
The Adams River is one of the most important Sockeye Salmon
breeding areas in North America – important not only to local
ecology, but to the history and culture of the Shuswap. Salmon
have helped to sustain the Secwepemc people for thousands of
years. Sockeye Salmon return to the Adams River each year, and in
2018 – a dominant year in the four-year migration cycle – hundreds
of thousands of fish are expected to return home to spawn.
