The Water Remembers with Amy Bowers Cordalis | A People's Climate
Description
For the first time in over a century, the Klamath River flows free again—thanks to the vision, courage, and determination of the Yurok Tribe.
In this episode of A People’s Climate, Shilpi Chhotray talks with Amy Bowers Cordalis, a member of the Yurok Tribe and leader in the largest dam removal project in U.S. history.
From devastating fish kills and lost salmon runs to confronting corporations and navigating the law, Amy shares a story of environmental restoration, Indigenous sovereignty, and the power of nature-based solutions.
This is a story of rivers, resistance, and the multi-layered fight—legal, political, and cultural—to heal the land and its people.
