Brattland, C. & Rybråten, S. (eds.) 2023. Towards Indigenous Leadership in Salmon Governance? Report from the 2022 Indigenous Salmon Peoples Gathering. NINA Report 2365. Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. What characterizes Indigenous peoples’ leadership in wild salmon governance and their participation in state-led management systems? This report summarizes the presentations and discus-sions on key issues including Indigenous-led wild salmon governance and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in management efforts such as conservation and restoration of wild salmon, organized by the SALCUL project for the International Gathering of Indigenous Salmon Peoples in Vancouver, 2022. Based on contributions from the project and the Gathering, the report points to the fact that the importance of Indigenous leadership in salmon governance and research is recognized and implemented for many First Nations and Indigenous peoples in Canada and the USA. Compared to salmon river systems in Fennoscandia and elsewhere, with some notable exceptions, the implementation of Indigenous and Sámi leadership and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in governance and conservation work is still largely missing. Across the different geographical and cultural contexts, recognition of Indigenous leadership and Indigenous rights is a major premise for implementation of meaningful participation and increased sustainability in salmon governance systems.
