Salish Falls

It is a new day, full of new possibility.

We stopped the highway from traversing the waterfall of our ancestors who return from the sea. Of course, we mean the salmon who swim upriver and leap up the face of the waterfall in their annual quest to spawn.

This is a metaphor for our community thriving in this land while co-existing harmoniously with it since time immemorial.

We won the federal case -- and we now have complete domain over this stretch of coastal woods, rocky foothills, tidal mudflats, and rivers -- the mightiest of which thunders over these falls that our people consider sacred.

As the cornerstone of our culture and very identity it is only right that we decide if, how, and where a bridge might span this chasm.

In fact, we can build something here that redefines what a city is -- and how it interacts with the surrounding landscape and nature, as a whole.

We are flush with resources from our inland casinos, and together with other tribes, we can create a new utopia, here in this remote, unspoiled ancestral land.

There are no precious ores to mine or fossil fuels to extract, but, the land and sea are abundant in natural resource, and will give freely according to our need.

Let us show the world what modern city planning and technology and our custodianship of this beautiful, beautiful land can build!

VERY loosely inspired by the Pacific Northwest, and intended to be a very eco-friendly city, with or without use of the Green Cities district styles.

You could put generic industry down and pollute, but the only local resources to export are farming and timber, which do not pollute nearly as much as oil and mining.

I used San Minato theme:

I could not find all of the trees I wanted to use in the Workshop, so I found some reasonable approximations and tried different variations until I got sort of what I wanted.

I used the following trees:
(links to follow)

Linden Tree – Used in place of a giant Maple
Pacific Rhododendron 1 & 2
Alder
Short Pine, Tall Pine, Regular Pine (the only evergreens I found that worked with the other trees)
Lp2 Split Trunk (Multi Trunk) – My version of the Madrona or Pacific Yew
