Abstract

This storymap offers a compilation of research and personal reflection from the Skagit River, primarily focusing the international border, the hydroelectric projects, and Indigenous stewardship. I include reflections on two trips I did to the river and a historical and political breakdown of the basin and water management issues in it.

[Screenshots from the storymap are included as supplementary files.]
