| A Prayer for Salmon — Episodes 1 & 2 |
April 06, 2023 |
|
We present the first two episodes of A Prayer for Salmon from The Spiritual Edge podcast.
In a peaceful protest, the Winnemem Wintu call out the U.S. government for its refusal to acknowledge the destruction caused by Shasta Dam. The protest at the Shasta Dam Visitor Center reveals the Winnemem Wintu’s ongoing reality. They are ignored and later a security guard threatens to forcibly remove them.
Then we accompany the Winnemem Wintu to sacred sites near the McCloud River. The federal government’s Shasta Dam and Reservoir Expansion Proposal threatens these sites and the Winnemem Wintu way of life.
In the coming weeks, we will interview series producer Judy Silber, and listen to the remaining episodes.
Judy Silber, Executive Editor for The Spiritual Edge and Host of the Sacred Steps series. Judy got her start in journalism as a community reporter at the Orange County bureau of the Los Angeles Times. She has also worked as a producer at KALW, Bay Area Public Media. |
