Save California Salmon

09/25/21 • 23 min

The Klamath River is slated to be the largest dam removal project in the history of the United States. Removing these dams will open up over 400 miles of salmon, trout, and eel habitat. Find out what's at stake and what it takes to protect a watershed. In this episode, we interview Regina Chichizola (she/her), Co-director of Save California Salmon. She shares some of their 20-year history of advocating for dam removal with communities on the Klamath River in Northern California and Southeast Oregon. This is the first episode in a series about the Klamath Dam Removal process.

Envisioning Justice on the Klamath River

In this episode, we interview Dr. Cutcha Rising Baldy (Hupa, Karuk, Yurok, enrolled Hoopa Valley Tribe) Department Chair and Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Humboldt State University. Cutcha shares her unique perspective growing up in the Trinity and Klamath River Basin. Her personal stories inspire us to follow the example of the Hupa, Karuk, and Yurok Tribes and remind us that despite the colonizing forces of the United States and Gold Rush era, these tribes are still here protecting their home and rivers for more than 12,000 years.
