SUMMARY:Stephen Most talks about his book “River of Renewal: Myth and History in the Klamath Basin”
DESCRIPTION:River of Renewal tells the remarkable story of the Klamath Basin\, a region of the Pacific Northwest spanning the Oregon-California border. Indian reservations are at the headwaters\, along the estuary\, and across the major tributary of the Klamath River. In this place that has witnessed\, since the Gold Rush\, genocide\, war\, and conflicts over resources\, myths of the West loom large\, amplifying differences among inhabitants of a land united by water and divided by people. Yet when faced with ecological catastrophe\, farmers\, tribes\, and other regional stakeholders forged a consensus that led to the largest dam removal and watershed restoration project in history. \nThe only history of the entire Klamath Basin\, River of Renewal\, tells the stories of the region’s diverse communities and stakeholders\, including the government agencies that manage most of its land. Based on author Stephen Most’s original research and interviews with tribal leaders\, ranchers\, farmers\, fishermen\, forest managers\, and others\, River of Renewal is a political as well as an environmental history\, one that underscores the power of commitment to a place and the vital importance of traditional knowledge in ecological stewardship. It offers an indispensable resource for anyone who wishes to better understand the peoples of the Klamath Basin and their extraordinary accomplishment of bringing about the removal of the four hydroelectric dams that harmed their cultures\, economies\, and environment for a century. \nStephen Most is an acclaimed author\, playwright\, and filmmaker. “River of Renewal\,” a companion documentary that he wrote and coproduced\, won the American Indian Film Festival’s best documentary feature award. \nMonday October 28th 7:00 to 8:00 pm
