Salmon Resolution
A Resolution for Understanding, Healing and Action
HELP NEEDED!
In the upcoming weeks, we will be focusing more effort on expanding public support for the resolution, both locally and globally.
You can help in this effort by encouraging your friends to visit http://www.callingbackthesalmon.com/resolution and to add their names as support.
Also, we are looking for some high-profile individuals to publicly support the resolution—anyone with connections with the Dalai Lama or Desmond Tutu?

In a few short years, community support for Calling Back the Salmon to the Yuba River has grown from a group of 28 people to over 400. There are some great signs that we can see Chinook back in our watershed. There is work to do though, and with your support we can make this happen. Signing up to our new email list will allow us to contact you with periodic updates of our progress and ways that you can help in the effort. Working together, helping each other, is making a difference to our future and the continued life of Chinook Salmon. Thank you for your support!

A message from the Spiritual Elders of Mother Earth
Restoring Morals and Values
The Code of Right Relationship:
1. What walks, swims, flies, or creeps is in relationship; the mountains, streams, and valleys and all things are related to your thought and action.
2. What occurs around you and within you reflects your own mind and shows you the dream you are weaving
3. Three principles of awakened mind guide enlightened action: will to see the Mystery as it is; intention to manifest one¹s purpose for the benefit of all; courage to do what must be done.
4. Generosity of heart and action brings peace and abundance to all in the circle.
5. Respect for elders, clan, land, and nation inspires acts in harmony with the sacred law, good care-taking of the gifts received.
6. Action to benefit the land and the people unto seven generations shapes the consciousness of the Planetary Caretaker, dreaming those yet unborn, ever mindful of life¹s unfolding.
7. To be in good relation, transforming patterns of separation, pacifying conflicting emotions, is to experience the wisdom within, the still lake of Mystery.
Arising from these teachings are the nine precepts in the Code of Right Relationship:
1. Speak only words of truth.
2. Speak only of the good qualities of others
3. Be a confidant and carry not tales
4. Turn aside the veil of anger to release the beauty inherent in all
5. Waste not the bounty, and want not.
6. Honor the light in all; compare nothing; see all for its suchness
7. Respect all life; cut away ignorance form one's own heart
8. Neither kill nor harbor thoughts of angry nature, which destroy peace like an arrow
9. Do it now; if you see what needs doing, do it.
Discussion Forum
Ricky Pisanu has volunteered to moderate our new discussion forum. The goal of the forum is to get discussion started that will generate interest in exploring nature's beauty in our watershed. Please add your thoughts and suggestions!
