#Reclaimed by #nature: No fewer than 40 #native #Yokut groups lived along the shores, using tule reeds to fashion homes, boats and baskets and fishing for #salmon.

The recent flooding, though, is testing these defenses. https://www.sfchronicle.com/climate/article/tulare-lake-water-california-17846366.php
