"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.

Brightens up the whole patio!
Size: 9ft, Color: Apple Green
I am so happy with this umbrella! The "Apple Green" color is gorgeous—it’s super vibrant and really makes my backyard feel more tropical and fun.
The crank is smooth and easy to use, so I don’t have to struggle to get it open, and the push-button tilt is a total lifesaver when the sun starts to dip in the afternoon. It feels much sturdier than the one I replaced; the ribs seem solid and it hasn't budged during our usual afternoon breezes.
It provides a ton of shade for our table, and you can tell the fabric is thick enough to actually block the heat. If you want a pop of color and a reliable umbrella that doesn't cost a fortune, this one is perfect!

Mostly well made…
Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Blue
The umbrella itself is made out of great fabric and the color is accurate to the photo. However, we’ve had it for less than a month and the piece that controls the angle of the umbrella has already broken off. It still works, but will always be at an angle now.

Great Buy for quality & price
I've bought many patio umbrellas over the past 22 years and must say this is the best yet. Not just in quality but also price. I bought the 10' & it's the perfect size for my patio, I've sat under it a couple of times in the sun & the sun never gets through to me. Plus, I'm 75 yrs. old & had it put up in about 5 minutes. Great buy
