Salmon are a major element of Yurok identity. www.yuroktribe.org/salmonfestival.htm

The Yurok and other tribes who live along the Klamath River, from Oregon through California, have been fighting to save the Chinook salmon. This is directly related to the water that white cattle ranchers and potato farmers who live at my end (the source) of the Klamath insist is theirs to keep. tinyurl.com/ya4you64 At the bottom of that article are links to more information about this important legal and cultural crusade.

For a more thorough idea of the plight and fight of the Yurok and, really, all Native American tribes, read this moving LA Times article about the Yurok: tinyurl.com/jw6sq6a It's a beautiful and tragic tale, well worth your time.

With our current anti-environmental, anti-science, anti-brown-people, climate-denying administration, it will not be surprising if the salmon are declared not endangered, therefore we must save the white ranchers and their cattle, instead.

The president and his secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency are 100% fools.

Thanks for these reflections, it's a depressing issue.

Terribly, and has not changed since I first became aware of it in my early teens. No minority group has been treated as cruelly for as long as Native Americans have.

I didn't really become aware of how harsh things where until I started exploring the inner parts of the West. In the east and eastern Midwest (e.g., Indiana, Ohio), the Native Americans were largely invisible. It was living in So Cal where I began to see the conditions of the tribes in the interior parts of the counties, and then it became very evident when I was up around Four Corners and in South Dakota. Unfortunately we're not along in this, settlers become the standing armies of imperial forces, being very harsh on indigenous populations across the globe.

Very good comment, Don - as yours always are. I grew up with more first-hand knowledge of it than most white people have.
