Yurok tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental scientist Craig Tucker share the epic story of the Klamath River dam removal, the largest in history. This unprecedented project, driven by Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship, represents a watershed moment of co-equal decision-making between tribes and the U.S. government. Once complete in 2024, it will liberate 400 miles of the Klamath River and its tributaries, allowing them to run free from Oregon through California to the Pacific Ocean.

Sammy Gensaw is the Founding Director of the Ancestral Guard, an activist, and a Yurok Language Speaker. Craig Tucker, founder of Suits and Signs Consulting, brings over 20 years of advocacy experience, particularly in the Klamath Basin, focusing on dam removal and water policy.

This episode, "Undam the Klamath! How Tribes Led the Largest River Restoration Project in US History," is part of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series. Visit the radio and podcast homepage to learn more.

The Yurok and Karuk peoples fought for decades to remove dams on the Klamath River, which decimated salmon populations and riparian ecosystems vital to their traditional lifeways. In 2022, the US government agreed to remove four dams, launching the largest river restoration project in US history. This monumental achievement highlights tribal activism and groundbreaking partnerships.
