I am the Elwha
I am the Elwha
Story by Lori Peelen, illustrations by Laura Timmermans
I am the Elwha is the true story of a wild river in Washington State, dammed for a century, then dramatically set free when the dams are blown up. The voices of the river, the animals, the people, and plants tell their story of loss and redemption. I am the Elwha celebrates the Klallam Tribe's tenacity and determination to right an old wrong. Gorgeous illustrations by northwest artist, Laura Timmermans, make this story shine. Life-Cycles, salmon and river restoration science are included. Aging dams and improved understanding of our interconnectedness is driving the removal of hundreds more dams America, especially in California. Many more Native Tribes and rivers will be rebounding, just like the Klallam Tribe and the Elwha River, providing a more resilient watershed and community.
