The story is important in itself, but it also seems like a striking lesson in how things get done. The Klamath, Karuk, Yurok, etc. worked relentlessly for decades. They were always there, always organizing. No matter the odds, they always showed up. And they ended up changing their world.

Good on Grist. I've been reporting on the amazing dam removals on the Klamath River--the biggest in world history, a huge precedent--for several years, and there was lots of stuff in this comprehensive report that was new to me. If you're at all interested in the North American West, read this.
