PACIFICORP: UN-DAM! BRING THE SALMON HOME!

Rally to Un-dam the Klamath River and Bring the Salmon Home! Portland, Oregon August 2nd, 2006

"Jumping out of the river like a fish ... all » into the heart of the dreamer, I am the fish spirits magic song."

"We're fish people, we're people of the Klamath River; we were honored when we were born. Now it's time for us to give something back and honor the resource, and more importantly, honor the children. I want to say something about the Klamath tribes of Oregon. These guys have not seen salmon since 1917, and that's a travesty."

"Fish Need Water Not Politics"

"Give up Culture and Biodiversity in the Name of Natural Resource Exploitation?!"

"Tribes Support the Protection of All Natural Resources and Wildlife"

This dude relies on US Army documents to prove Tribal History! Whiter than White, but uses the guise of long hair and a handdrum and an unknown language to pass himself off as a TRIBAL "ExPeRt" for the money! He don't know shit about Real Tribalism. He weaves traditional baskets for the money he can make for himself! What a Cracker!! Gerald Skelton is nothing but a Termination Skeleton! Just looking to earn the AMERICAN Dollar! !

Coho are NOT native to the Klamath. Most of this is happening in Shasta Nation lands. Who is asking the Shasta about the truth?! Watch to see the truth...

Yeah, everyone wants cheap power. Everyone wants a clean environment. But once the dam goes down and the price of power goes up whose fault is it? The protesters? No, it's the power company, right? Do not BITCH to PacifiCorp when your power bill goes up! Remember, making power costs. No, not just money, but costs to the environment too. Even clean power has its costs.

Excellent video. Good stories and songs from the tribal people. We need to help the Klamath, Karuk, Yurok, Hoopa bring the Salmon Home to the Upper Klamath Basin. Ask PacifiCorp, Warren Buffet and FERC take out the Klamath Dams, now please.
