Why We Blew Up Four Dams — and Saved a River | Amy Bowers Cordalis | TED
For thousands of years, the Klamath River in Northern California was home to one of the continent’s great salmon runs, creating abundance for the native Yurok Tribe … until a series of dams and a century of extraction nearly destroyed it. Indigenous advocate Amy Bowers Cordalis helped lead the fight to take down those dams…

They always pretend its white genocide that consumes all the resources, as if modern “natives” and all cultures around the world today aren’t all doing the same because most people prefer comfort, food, housing, heat, cooling, clothing and modern conveniences, and that small tribal populations of old are to be compared to modern large populations today. And somehow those same genocidal people do respond to fix problems that prior generations did.

I’ve seen plenty of talks about saving the planet, but hearing Amy speak about the Klamath — a river her own people watched suffer for a century — felt personal in a way statistics never could. The thought of the salmon finally coming home again moved me more than I expected. Stories like this remind me why we keep telling them.

How many people lost their access to water because you wanted to save a fish that’s so abundant it’s on US tables across the county and
exported …stupid is as stupid does ../

@noblepatriot9292 if you did a simple Google you would see that no one lost water access for drinking or agriculture. For the 11 homes whose wells failed with this change they added large water tank for them. Maybe look up the question you have before jumping to conclusions.

I’d rather ask the people who’s land border the river … now they have a big dry ditch … I notice you skip over the abundance of fish that you didn’t save. They come back to the place of their birth to spawn. No Salmon spawn above the damn in decades…

On this Indigenous Americans Day 2026, thank you for this inspirational conversation! My family comes from the lower Appalachians and so many dams have forever changed the land, the rivers and streams. So many losses of historical and cultural areas that are now beneath lakes 250 feet deep…

To be honest, it takes a lot longer than 3 days for silt to clear out and the water to be clear enough for upstream migration. Dynamite is a very damaging way to remove a dam because of the disruption to the lower river the massive rush creates. This was learned when they removed the dams on the Elwha on the Olympic Peninsula. We need to remove the dams but let’s be smart about it and learn from our mistakes so we do it the very best we can and minimize the disruptive impacts on the fisheries and critical riparian zone.
