LECTURE AND DOCUMENTARY
Red Gold: The Last Great Salmon Run on Earth
Tim Troll, Executive Director
Nushagak-Mulchatna WoodTikchik Land Trust
FREE ADMISSION
The Nushagak-Mulchatna Wood-Tikchik Land Trust is dedicated to the preservation and protection of the salmon and wildlife habitat of the Nushagak Bay watersheds located in the remote Bristol Bay region of southwest Alaska, an area that is home to the most productive wild salmon fishery in history. As a companion event to our featured exhibition Southwest Alaska: A World of National Parks and Wildlife Refuges, The Photographs of Robert Glenn Ketchum, the Art Alliance is pleased to welcome NMWT Land Trust Executive Director Tim Troll for a lecture on the devastating impacts to the region and its ecosystem currently posed by planned energy and mineral development. The presentation by Mr. Troll will include a screening of Red Gold, a one-hour documentary on the proposed Pebble Mine as told through the voices of the commercial, subsistence and sport fisherman of Bristol Bay. Co-produced by Trout Unlimited Alaska, Red Gold was awarded high honors at the 2008 Telluride Mountain Film Festival, and is as much a celebration of the salmon and the people of Bristol Bay as it is about the controversy surrounding the Pebble Mine Project.
