SalmonPeople
Salmonpeople is theatre so sly, so real, so razor sharp funny, it’s like going out to dinner with Robin Williams, Garrison Keillor and Johnny Appleseed, everybody talking with their mouths full. The show is a homespun tapestry of character insight, good science, good humor, and astounding freehand cartography. At one point, Peter's on-stage persona, Cyrus Jackson, draws the entire map of our bioregion, naming over 100 rivers. From memory! Audacious storytelling, Salmonpeople is richly staged with beautiful sound and lighting environments. You've never seen anything like it.
Global Source is partnering with Peter Donaldson to bring this special program to local classrooms. This is a great opportunity to enrich and enhance your teaching and learning around education for sustainability, across the curriculum. Peter’s sees his work as “preparing our students to participate in the rapidly emerging sustainable economy. With sustainability as our context, we explore systems that unite subjects, integration that organizes information, and learning that is applied to real community issues.”
Global Source would like thank everyone that attended the show, and would encourage you all to continue to follow Peter Donaldson's work.

People often refer to our Pacific Northwest bioregion as Salmon Nation.
Salmon are an integral part of our ecology, culture, heritage, economy, and politics.The plight of the salmon reflects the convergence of
many critical ecological issues facing our region, and provide topics of study rich in ways to bridge classroom and community.
What are the interdisciplinary possibilities for teaching and learning about salmon in elementary and secondary education?
Join us for a special walk in the rhododendron preserve surrounding Chico Creek,
in the heart of Kitsap County. Learn about the Salmon Safari Program and the Chico Creek Project.
