Beyond Salmon: A Native American Perspective on Water Quality

Brook Thompson from the Yurok and Karuk tribes of Northern California goes in detail how the Klamath River water quality is linked not just to a decline in salmon, but a decline in mental, physical, and cultural health of her tribes. Through personal anecdotes and using her experience as a civil engineer, Thompson teaches lessons on how we can shift our perspective about water and fish, and how that can benefit research and California policy in the future.
