“When there are no salmon, there will be no people.” – A Winnemum Wintu Tribe prophecy
The Winnemum Wintu tribe are committed to restoring the endangered winter-run Chinook salmon to the McCloud River in Northern California which are verge of extinction, and could be lost forever. The Shasta Dam, water diversion, poor water management, and now climate change have rapidly depleted numbers.
