Fred Sampson, 2007 Fraser Salmon Hero in Fisheries

Chief Fred Sampson of the Siska Band in Lytton is honoured as Salmon Hero in the area of Fisheries Management.  He has led the Siska towards innovation and partnerships that allow them to selectively harvest higher valued salmon products. By generating more revenue from less fish, the hope is that economic needs can be met while also rebuilding weak salmon runs. The youth program of the Siska Traditions Society received the award money.
