Yukon River

Canada and the United States are suspending all fishing for Canadian-origin Yukon River chinook salmon for seven years in an attempt to protect the dwindling species.

Author Adam Weymouth canoed the length of the Yukon River. His brilliant book, Kings of the Yukon, takes the reader on a journey of sound, smells, shifts of light and colour, storms and sunshine, wistfulness, fear, and admiration for the mighty King salmon and the people along the way.

Relatives who poured out heart-wrenching stories of their missing or murdered loved ones in Yukon say the national inquiry must keep listening and adapting as it moves on.
