The Yurok Tribe invites the community to watch the FERC hearing on the removal of the Klamath dams. At 7am tomorrow, the hearing will be broadcasted live in the community room at the Yurok HQ. The hearing represents a major milestone in the decades-long fight to remove the dams.

The Yurok Tribe joins more than 50 tribes and tribal organizations in our firm opposition to California’s Prop 27. Prop 27 has the potential to cause immense harm to tribal sovereignty and tribal economies across the state. Vote No on Prop 27.
