Tribal Officials talked of a sense of relief for having water flowing in decent amounts down the Trinity River, providing cooler water for spawning salmon to make their epic journeys back to the places of their birth. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">The celebration took place next to the fish hatchery where Chinook and coho salmon and steelhead are spawned and reared by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Not lost on those present was the significance of that choice: a fish hatchery, a place of birth and release, something the Tribes have been doing for centuries. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">The event began right before noon when the “Water Warriors,” those who have protested in defense of the Trinity in recent weeks, walked from the gate at the entrance into the hatchery where they convened at a stage. The “Water Warriors” wore t-shirts donated by Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries with “Free Our River” emblazoned on the front and carried an array of signs and colorful banners. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Members of the Yurok, Hoopa Valley and Karuk tribes, as well as leaders of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, displayed signs and banners with slogans including “Fish Need Water,” “Let The River Flow,” "Give Us Our Water, " "Save The Salmon," "Tribal Rights Are Non Negotiable," "Release The Dam Water," "Undam the Klamath - Free the Trinity," "Central Valley agri-giants are killing salmon", "Fish Can't Swim In Money," and "Westlands Sucks The Trinity Dry." </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Many of those “Water Warriors” had participated in a direct action protest at the Bureau of Reclamation Offices in Sacramento the week before, organized by the Klamath Justice Coalition and Got Water?, that helped pressure Reclamation to increase releases into the Trinity River below the dam to avert a fish kill on the lower Klamath, (</font><a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/20/18760371.php" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; color: rgb(22, 52, 92); ">http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/08/20/18760371.php</a><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">) </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">The opening walk was in honor of the Water Warriors’ “strong battle to preserve and protect our sovereignty, water rights, and salmon,” according to Hoopa Tribal Chairwoman Danielle Vigil-Masten. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">After a welcome address by Bob Burns, Vice-Chair of Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation, tribal members conducted traditional dance and singing demonstrations.These included a traditional Hoopa/Yurok/Karuk Brush dance demonstration by Boyd Ferris and Clarence Hostler Sr. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Hoopa Tribal Member sisters Kee-yah and Kisdyante Joseph sang a powerful water song, followed by a beautiful Flower Dance demonstration and “Water is Life” connection story led by Melody George-Moore. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">After a prepared barbecued lunch where the Hoopa Valley Youth Council served the elders, teachers and students in the NDN Hupa Language Program presented their “Youth Water Songs for Healing.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries Hydrologist Robert Franklin provided a detailed update on water flows, fish health and legal proceedings. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Hoopa Tribal Chairwoman, Danielle Vigil-Masten then reviewed the recent campaign by grassroots tribal and environmental activists that culminated in the victory, emphasizing the need for unity among the tribes and other river people fighting for the restoration of the Trinity. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“This rally today brings all the Water Warriors together to show them we have a united front,” she said. “This all happened within a two week time frame. We were able to bring the tribes and river people together from the dam to the mouth.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">"Water is our lifeblood – without water we won’t have salmon,” she said. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">She emphasized that everybody should be “proud of who you are. Don’t put each other down – lift each other up!” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“Our fish need water to live and survive,” she emphasized. “Two weeks ago the Bureau said they couldn’t allow increased releases down the river, even though fish were dying. We called our Sister, the Chief of the Winnemem Wintu, to do the fire and water dance. We called everybody and said we can’t fight this battle with egos – we have to be united.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Vigil-Masten said the high river releases from the dam that splashed into the air behind her were the result of a recent visit to Redding by Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel. After finding out about the visit the night before, Hoopa tribal members including Dania Colegrove, Vivienna Orcutt and Allie Hostler and river activists including Regina Chichizola and Stormy Salamander quickly mobilized to organize a protest in Redding where Jewell was meeting with local officials about the fires. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Fortunately, Vigil-Masten and other tribal members were able to talk to her. “We had one shot to do this – and we showed up! The most important thing is showing up,” she emphasized. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Two days after Jewell’s visit, members of her staff traveled out to the Klamath and Trinity rivers to see the reality of the situation, with fish dying and the waters choked with algae in sections.</font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Buster Attebury, Karuk Tribal Chairman, also emphasized the need for unity in working to bring back the salmon to the Klamath and Trinity rivers. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“If we work together, we can accomplish a lot,” said Attebury. “We have different ways of doing things, but we are stronger if we stick together.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">He pointed out the irony of how fish ladders were constructed on the Pacific Corp dams in Oregon, but not below Iron Gate Dam in California. For over 70 years, Iron Gate has blocked salmon from ascending the Klamath River and its tributaries to spawn. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“What we want is a brighter future, “ he said. “We lived in harmony with the environment for generations. This is not an inferior way of life, as the settlers said. Only in the short time the settlers came to the region they raped the earth. THAT is an inferior lifestyle.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Jeannie McCovey, Yurok Tribal Member, said state and federal authorities are "not managing the river properly. We’re dealing with ecocide... We have to fight for our air, water and land.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">McCovey urged people to fight for the river and salmon with every avenue available, including going to protests and hearings, writing letters and “folding hands in prayer. Humans are the only ones that can pray.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Debra Chapman, Trinity County Supervisor, said, “We were bracing for another catastrophic die-off” before the Bureau decided to release water. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">She talked about how when she was in high school, her mentor was a teacher who taught an environmental conservation class. In 1973, they put up a sign in Douglas City, “Entering the Trinity River. Studied to death and mismanaged to death.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">"Over forty years later we still have a problem with flows on the Trinity River," she stated. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“They treat the Trinity as if it is a tributary of the Sacramento. The Trinity is not a tributary of the Sacramento,” she emphasized. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Caleen Sisk, Chief and Spiritual Leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, who gave the final prayer and song, emphasized, “We are a salmon state, not a watermelon or pistachio state. It will take Indian people all over the state to bring the salmon back.” </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">“We are one of a handful willing to speak for the salmon. We have to speak up, to support one another… Make sure that we carry the salmon in our hearts so we know what to say. If you’re on a tribal council, please speak up,” she said. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Other speakers and performers at the event included Miss Natini-xwe’ Kayla Brown, Hoopa Valley Tribe Member, who sang the Salmon Prayer Song, Rick Dowd, Resighini Rancheria Tribal Chairman, and Brian Person, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Area Manager. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">After the rally ended, Tribal members got word that a federal judge in Fresno that afternoon had rejected a motion by San Joaquin Valley agribusiness interests to block preventative water releases to avert a fish kill on the Klamath River. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill denied the temporary restraining order (TRO) sought by Westlands Water and the San Luis and Delta-Mendota Water Authority after the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation increased releases on the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam on Saturday, August 23. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">O’Neill ruled that potential harm to salmon facing low and warm water conditions at this time outweighs the potential harm to irrigators, who receive Trinity River water through the Central Valley Project, next year.

O’Neill: </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">"At issue is water in a Trinity River reservoir, which has long been shared with farmers in the Central Valley. The river is the main tributary of the Klamath River, where sharing scarce water between fish and farms has long been a tough balancing act marked by lawsuits and political battles for local tribe's that have been fighting for years to keep river flows at healthy levels for fish," Hoopa Tribal Fisheries Director Mike Orcutt said, "We're happy and thankful that the Court did the right thing this year. The Court is interpreting what the law says, which is, the assurances given to the residents of the basin including the Hoopa Tribe. That water would be used first and foremost here to protect the fish in the Klamath and Trinity river, not all of these other things that the Trinity River water is being used for in the Central Valley." </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">In the response to the TRO (Temporary Restraining Order), the court mentions only one argument - the trust responsibility to manage the project for the trust assets. </font><br><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif">Councilman Ryan Jackson stated, "The release of the additional water into the Klamath Basin is a victory for Indian people and preservation of the Indian trust resource. However we shouldn't lose sight of how we managed to get to where we are today. The BOR continues to manage the Klamath basin in a irresponsible manner. Maximum deliveries of water out of the basin and into the California Central Valley continue to put a strain on an already stressed situation. The biggest problem we see is within the Klamath River and the over allocation of water to upper basin junior interest irrigators. This requires the BOR to rely on Trinity River water to bail out the Lower Klamath. Now we find ourselves in a lawsuit trying to defend an action that shouldn't have occurred in the first place.
