Description

In this episode, we hear from hereditary Chief Caleen Sisk of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe. Their tribal homelands encompass the Winnemem Waywaket (McCloud River)  and much of the land now flooded by the Shasta Reservoir, California's largest.  The Winnemum Wintu's resistance story exemplifies many of the inequities in California's land and water rights.
