Abstract

The main focus of the article is the environmental and cultural significance of the Klamath River restoration, as detailed in the memoir "The Water Remembers" by Yurok tribal member Amy Bowers Cordalis. The book recounts the devastating fish kill of 2002, which prompted an Indigenous-led movement to remove dams that had long obstructed the river and harmed the salmon population. Cordalis shares her family's multigenerational struggle against historical injustices and their efforts to restore the river's health, culminating in the largest dam removal project in history. The narrative emphasizes the Yurok people's deep connection to the river and their belief in living in harmony with nature, highlighting a collaborative success story in environmental restoration.
