"We were wealthy from the water," Mitch Smallsalmon says, and like all the tribal elders, he speaks to our understanding of the natural world and the consequences of change. In this book the wisdom of the elders is passed on to the young as the story of the Jocko River, the home of the bull trout, unfolds for a group of schoolchildren on a field trip.The Jocko River flows through the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana. For thousands of years the Salish and Pend d'Oreille Indians lived along its banks, finding food and medicine in its plants and fish, and in the game hunted on its floodplain. Readers of this story will learn, along with the students of Ms. Howlett's class, about the history and culture of the river and its meaning in Native life, tradition, and religion. They will also discover the scientific background and social importance behind the Tribes' efforts to restore the bull trout to its home waters. Beautifully illustrated and narrated in the tradition of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes, this account of conservation as the legacy of one generation to the next is about being good to the land that has been good to us. Bull Trout's Gift is steeped in the culture, history, and science that our children must know if they hope to transform past wisdom into future good.

Great toy
Size: Large, Style: Crinkle Fry
This high-quality toy has been thoroughly enjoyed by my dogs. Its appropriate size and durability ensure its safety, even for my largest chewers. The toy’s design facilitates easy chewing, making it an excellent value for money. Notably, it surpasses the quality of other brands in my experience. Furthermore, the toy contributes to maintaining healthy and clean teeth, resulting in improved breath.

Great for strong chewers!
Size: Large, Style: Crinkle Fry
My puppy LOVES to chew this! It’s a great distraction from sticks outside and trying to chew other hard items. It’s not messy, since it’s hard and she can’t break pieces off. It’s nicer than bully stick since it has no smell. It keeps her busy!
It is heavy so it’s not ideal for a smaller dog. If your dog is a strong chewer or is teething, this is perfect!

Nearly indestructible
Size: Medium, Style: Pork Chomp, Size: Medium, Style: Pork Chomp
My dog will chew this until it’s tiny but it will take him months. These are the best toys for a dog that can chew through anything.
