  • Summary

  • This is the story of a historic grassroots effort to free a river. The removal of four dams on the lower Klamath River is the largest dam removal project in history and has reopened 400 miles of salmon habitat. Indigenous leaders and activists campaigned for over two decades to reach this moment. The dam removals represent an unparalleled victory for native communities and an opportunity for them to reverse decades of environmental degradation and regain their ancestral connection to the river. In this podcast I speak with Molli Myers, Karuk Tribal member, as well as Karuk Natural Resources Policy Consultant Craig Tucker, both at the forefront of the dam removal campaign, about the winding and remarkable road to this point.


    This podcast was made possible by support from American Rivers and was produced by Blue Canoe Studios with invaluable guidance from Kerry Donahue.
