getting deeper huh
5,000 years ago in the Pacific Northwest
the seasonal salmon runs sustained huge
populations of early humans oh is that a
dead fish
but this bounty was only available for a
short window of time each year look
there’s even skin everywhere on the
bottom missing the run could deprive an
entire community of their main food
source this is a salmon graveyard there
are dead fish everywhere fish are
floating downriver fish are trapped in
rocks look at that it’s huge fish he’s
not that old this could be really bad
news it is quite possible that bill and
I are too late no these runs last for
several weeks so we still might have a
shot look do you see that yep salmon
take advantage of slower moving water in
these rivers and more constricted areas
upstream salmon like the congregate in
pools because they expend less energy
maintaining their location in the river
we can see the fish in the stream
they’re everywhere and they’re huge
right there oh my god
but there’s no way to catch these fish
with our bare hands
we gotta come up with a better strategy
the only way the cat and I can truly
take advantage of this resource is to
recreate some of the basic technologies
that people use to your 5,000 years ago
to catch them and process them story
