This three-day Indigenous-led gathering will center Indigenous-led ceremony, culture, governance, and academic discussion around Indigenous experiences in salmon management at national and international levels. The International Gathering of Indigenous Salmon Peoples will facilitate international dialogue and collaboration, through which Indigenous Salmon Peoples and their partners will work together to identify potential pathways and actions that can strengthen international Indigenous collaboration, uphold Indigenous rights, and lead to improved outcomes for the future of salmon and people. 

ISP will bring together Indigenous representatives from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic basins to gather in the spirit of sharing and collaboration to reaffirm Indigenous rights and to support and strengthen Indigenous roles in salmon management at International and National scales.

A planning team of Indigenous salmon organizations from BC, Nova Scotia, Sápmi and Yukon along with Indigenous researchers from the Centre of Indigenous Fisheries at UBC and UiT - the Arctic University of Norway are working in collaboration to plan the event and to coordinate with the host community of xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) to ensure that the appropriate customs and protocols are exercised.
