In 2024, the largest dam removal project in U.S. history was completed on the Klamath River—a moment decades in the making, led by Indigenous communities fighting to restore their lands, waters, and way of life. This event marks an environmental victory for the tribal nations along the river that was generations in the making.
Join Grist Senior Staff Writer Anita Hofschneider and Yurok attorney, activist, and author Amy Bowers Cordalis for a conversation that illustrates what the success of the Klamath dam removal campaign can teach us about how to achieve Indigenous environmental justice. The conversation will explore the significance of the Klamath dam removal for Indigenous peoples and the climate, building upon Grist’s in-depth series, How the Klamath Dams Came Down and Bowers Cordalis’s forthcoming memoir, The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family’s Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life
