A river shaped by people and place

Tracing the Spokane River from Lake Coeur d’Alene to the Columbia, this collection brings together personal reflection, history, science, and poetry to explore a waterway spanning rural, urban, and wilder terrain. Its account holds several layers in view: the river’s long history as a gathering and trading place for Indigenous peoples, its role in recreation, and the legacy of industrial growth. Environmental questions—including resource scarcity and climate change—are connected here with cultural survival, making the river both a natural system and a shared human concern.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in rivers, ecosystems, and environmental questions.
  • Readers seeking writing that brings history, science, personal reflection, and poetry together.
  • Readers interested in Indigenous histories and cultural connections to place.

Book overview

From Lake Coeur d'Alene to its confluence with the Columbia, the Spokane River travels 111 miles of varied and often spectacular terrain--rural, urban, in places wild. The river has been a trading and gathering place for Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. With bountiful trout, accessible swimming holes, and challenging rapids, it is a recreational magnet for residents and tourists alike. The Spokane also bears the legacy of industrial growth and remains caught amid interests competing over natural resources.

The contributors to this collection profile this living river through personal reflection, history, science, and poetry. They bring a keen environmental awareness of resource scarcity, climate change, and cultural survival tied to the river's fate.
