What is the largest species of the salmon family that also shares its name with an Indian tribe?
"salmon were reintroduced in the Umatilla River. The tribe, along with the state of Oregon, operate egg-taking, spawning, and other propagation facilities that are helping restore salmon runs. In 1984, the first fall Chinook salmon in some 70 years returned to the Umatilla River. As a member of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, the CTUIR also shares management of the Columbia, Snake, Walla Walla, Tucannon, John Day, and Imnaha river basins. ""In recent times, tribal fisheries have occurred only on the Umatilla and Columbia rivers."" The Confederated Tribes opened the Wildhorse Resort & Casino, which now has a hotel"
"Greater adjutant The greater adjutant (""Leptoptilos dubius"") is a member of the stork family, Ciconiidae. Its genus includes the lesser adjutant of Asia and the marabou stork of Africa. Once found widely across southern Asia, mainly in India but extending east to Borneo, the greater adjutant is now restricted to a much smaller range with only two breeding populations; one in India, with the largest colony in Assam and the other breeding region in Cambodia. They disperse after the breeding season. This large stork has a massive wedge-shaped bill, a bare head and a distinctive neck pouch. During the day,"
"West Indian manatee The West Indian manatee (""Trichechus manatus"") or ""sea cow"", also known as American manatee, is the largest surviving member of the aquatic mammal order Sirenia (which also includes the dugong and the extinct Steller's sea cow). The West Indian manatee is a species distinct from the Amazonian manatee (""T. inunguis"") and the African manatee (""T. senegalensis""). Based on genetic and morphological studies, the West Indian manatee is divided into two subspecies, the Florida manatee (""T. m. latirostris"") and the Antillean or Caribbean manatee (""T. m. manatus"").

It is the largest known extant species of skink. The Solomon Islands skink is completely herbivorous, eating many different fruits and vegetables including the pothos plant.

Chinook salmon have been introduced in New Zealand and Patagonia. Coho, freshwater sockeye, and Atlantic salmon have been established in Patagonia, as well.

Many species of salmon have been introduced into non-native environments such as the Great Lakes of North America and Patagonia in South America.
