Don't Drown Our Culture

The US government is moving ahead with plans to raise Shasta Dam, in the service of wealthy water districts in California's Central Valley. Our people, the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, were flooded out when the dam was built in 1945, without receiving the compensation promised by Senate Bill 1120. Now we are expected to sacrifice once again. This project will require a vote in the US Congress. Please contact your Congressperson and Senators and urge them to oppose the plan to raise Shasta Dam. If you are in California, please let Senators Feinstein and Boxer know that you are against this further injustice against our tribe. More info and links can be found at www.shastadamraise.com.
