I love watching these dams come down, one after the other, reopening the river to #salmon and the rest of the #ecosystem.

Badass story on tribes being badasses, stocking up on billions of seeds and planting Native trees to start restoring the landscape before Klamath dam removal even begins.

The #Yurok Tribe recruited riparian ecologist Joshua Chenoweth, who helped restore the Elwha River after what was then the biggest dam removal in US history, to help with the massive undertaking on the #KlamathRiver.

#Yurok Tribe Hires Investigator to Pursue New, Existing Missing and Murdered #Indigenous People (#MMIP) Cases

Quote: “Throughout the State of California, very few resources are allocated to cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous people. I [the investigator] was very excited when I saw the opportunity to be the person who is solely focused on finding missing Indigenous people."

The feds have cut water flows on the #Klamath, sacrificing endangered salmon so we can have In-N-Out fries.
