won't be able to stay here if they can't get water. you alone are the lord. if you give life to every hay and them all and dr. hussain with all their water, it is all about them having the power over us. and that power is water. the government is withholding water from farmers to protect endangered fish that are sacred to native american tribes. here with these fish are among the 1000000 species of plants and animals. the climate change is striving to extinction worldwide be destroyed their habitat for agriculture, purgation for colonization, for profit, i was wondering of a dime, bruce, ah, higher creation story tells us that if the fish die,
7:35 pm
the people die that before that happens, we will fight because it's in our blood this feels like water this world that we're living in now. oh. c on this episode, winds climate change in supplies, one of the fiercest warren wars in the west, and pushes an organ town to which breaking point. oh no proclaim. it's like the heart of the struggle over water and organs klamath basin. for thousands of years, the lake team, which sucker fish that sustained the clamor tribes. vast wetlands acted as a filter for the water. then, in less than a 150 years,
7:36 pm
agriculture pushed the fish to the brink of extinction. as farmers trained to wetlands to grow potatoes for potato chips and hay for dairy cows. now deprived of its filter, the water turns toxic every year. i want to see the the impact firsthand with my eyes. i want to see what it is we're fighting for. this is the 1st time i'll be able to see it face to face with how many of those fisher left on all told round 24000 and no babies to replace them. no, no driven. every year the cloud, blue green algae clots the water in the lake,

7:38 pm
profit at the expense of our intent, people at the expense of our tribes at the expense of what little resources we have left. ah, 1st is the west usa, 17 state where water is well the richness crisis. go back to the early 19 hundreds, when the federal government trained lakes duck canals in re routed rivers to deliver water to farmers with the irrigation projects were part of the governments pushed to encourage white settlers to move west. mm. later, the climate tribes lost their land to a federal policy known as termination that was here since termination. when i terminated the tribe indian land were broke up and sold. we
7:39 pm
occupied it just like the romans did. their strong were stronger better way. it's been since time get their strong taken away from the way they always have our people have survived genocide, murder, disease, and war. we survived federal termination, but one thing we did retain was our right to hunt fish trap and gather on these lands. in a treaty, the federal government promised the claim of tribes that they would always be able to fish. the fishing piece of that implies that there will be fish for them to fish . so that's the 1st promise that the u. s. government. and then the us government handed out a bunch of homesteads to a bunch of weight. settlers and the promise seem to be,
7:40 pm
you can have this water forever, and there are a lot of promises made that cannot all be filled in recent decades. the ports of affirm that the government must honor the clamor tribes treated before feels its promises to farmers. because the climate tribes were here 1st, there or bought a right to proceed everybody else. but even if you have a piece of paper from the federal government that says you can have water every year. if there's not enough water to go around, the climate tried to come 1st. we build the call with your occasional project in the early 20th century, like we did most of these big water projects in the west. and there was an assumption that the hydrology, the early 20th century, would persist until the end of time. that was faulty assumptions. here we are in 2021, and a 100 change global warming. we're in the midst of it. and there's not as much water to go around. i think of my

7:42 pm
went away to college just right out of high school and lived away for quite a few years. after coming back after living in a more open diverse community. it was a shock when she came to class basin. ah, i came back in 2016, florida. oh, it was uncomfortable hearing this repeated sense of entitlement from 5th generation farmers, 6 generation farmers that their grandfathers told them that there would always always be water. at the time i remember thinking, well, there's the problem. your grandfather is hold you. there would always be water. but my dad was telling me we gotta release fish back because there's not enough. ah
7:43 pm
. was the federal government who wanted all of us people to come down here and farm has nearly reclaim land. so my family did came down here, we've invested our whole entire life for 4 generations in the making this based on what it is today of now the tables turn it in the same federal government to pull my family to come here $100.00. 15 years ago is now telling me to get the hell out of here or forcing me for a better time to get to hell out of here. a i feel betrayed without access to water from upper climate, like some farmers in the basin are pumping water from underground the water. this in the canals coming from a well your neighbors? well, yes sir. this is just out again if that was hard to let anybody else here again with his water basically. yeah, well, i guys, i mean,
7:44 pm
my family's been here for, you know, 117 years 15 years. i feel like what i was born do i've, i feel like i do a good job at it. and i've got everybody in the entire world against me. and that's not a good feeling. oh, hi. rodney sheen did not kick anybody off any piece of ground for his own benefit. i wasn't the one that was in here physically, kellen and moving him and taking them off their land. the fish is the only way the tribe can get retribution on the white man. 20 years ago was the same story in the barn. there's 5000 mara main street in 2001 another severe drill, threatening the fish with the government shuttle, the water, thousands of farmers pack the street to plant falls symbolically moving water into
7:45 pm
the irrigation canals. will cause it to where sun, john and van to his grandson game. they called it the bucket brigade generation. i was in 7th grade. everybody was there. we were united as tensions rose, members of the claim of tribes based harassment in town. under pressure, federal officials turned the water back on later that summer. federal government came and gave us our water at the victory for farmers was a disaster downstream. $34000.00 sam and washed a short dead taking water from the lake during a severe drought at unleashed an epidemic of fish disease. it devastated the york tribe, which has subsisted on sabbath for thousands of years. i remember smell.
7:46 pm
just the smell of genocide is our best way to describe it because is now so much death in these places that offer nothing but by forgiving opportunities. ah, today the tribe estimates at less than 5 percent of the salmon run remains a despite the fishkill market. protesters memorialized their success $1001.00 to be installed and metal bucket under the county building farmers and it stayed on display for 13 years. a powerful symbol of farmers defiance. the message sent this bucket sent was klamath supports the former. ah, i use the bucket brigade, is that a point? that bucket is all erased this monument
7:47 pm
ah, this summer, when the government shut off water to farmers. the bucket reappeared in town last week. this 40 by 80 canvas 10 popped up out of nowhere. a group of farmers and our right activist made national news when they set up camp next to the heck gate to the irrigation canals and threatened to take the water by force or gotta stand up and take it or, or high water here. yeah. that was dan nielsen, very good neighbor, very good brand the communities. happy to have him because without him, there wouldn't been a lot of stories of this year. they parked the bucket next to their tent like crime that the barker are here behind me is racist. white people are racist of your christian erasers. if you believe in the constitution, you're racist. how serious is it getting? here? we are literally to the point that people are gonna start shooting each other before. this is also not i am concerned for
7:48 pm
myself in my safety. i've had people come up to me and say you're the chairman, the better watch you back. i can actually say have a hand gun now that i never had before. ah. the climate tribe said this hostility goes beyond protest like the bucket brigade, they say it's baked into the way farmers and ranchers manage their land and that some refused to make human small changes the could save the fish. just despite the tribes, leroy gingrich family has wrenched these 280 acres for the better part of the century. ah. but although oregon law requires that he keep his cattle from contaminating the lake, he refuses to put up fences. they complain that the cows are contaminated,
7:49 pm
the like that their complaint his 1st this is from the oregon department of agriculture because one indian complaint and one big barrier fan when i can't see through i enjoy my view. i've had that view all my life. i enjoy it now, right. this is mine or my favorite spot here was in indian farm. go right up there before little trail trailed, man walked by. you're near many a year. now if you look right up on that top of this rock right up here. you see an old indian bowl there for keynote man you get to really look
7:50 pm
ah, why not work with them? you know, have you ever tried to work with the gimme of what the what a gimme. gimme. gimme. gimme gimme. that's right. working with the tribe. gimme gimme gimme gimme. they don't give you. gimme gimme, gimme gimme ah . the kind of colonialism that brought those forwards here. the 1st place. how big of a stumbling block is that to moving forward? i would say it's more than a stumbling block. i would say it is the root of the entire problem, a sort of set where mindset that way people one and they should be able to run the
7:51 pm
place as they see fit. the beating heart of the whole problem ah, in may 2020, as black lives matter, protests spread across the country. demonstrators gathered in downtown klamath falls and a few 100 people. counter protesters armed themselves against friends, neighbors, parents, children, teachers, students who were armed only with posters. there was a face off on main street. i assume were yelling at us, go back home, but when you tell that to an indigenous person, where are we supposed to go?
7:52 pm
this is just a tiny bit of the hatred and disdain. he thought to our title members on out from that horrible device of incident, our city council form the equity task force a several of us contacted city council. what are you going to do about this? what can we do? and so that's how i ended up on the task force. we retained our right to hunt and fish happened and failure for us to do that is an act of racism and active white supremacy. and i can say that to you guys, but you could say more than a year after the protest, the racial equity task force is preparing to deliver its final report to the city
7:53 pm
council. this blue is the color of peace, but it's also represents water than silver. of course, this are healthy fish in our healthy, peaceful, rivers, and green. it represents our agricultural industry here. the i've lived here in this community grow almost 70 years, and i have here and i've been in the background and i haven't i haven't realized how fearful i am to live in this community. my home where you're doing in the navy woman, you are doing things that i always wanted to do. this helps me put myself out there in through you with you. besides you ah,
7:54 pm
with you look, work dad, to me. i still a lot of deb street. i was really nervous that because the task force agreed to take on confronting racism against the tribe. i was concerned that we were in danger. yeah. i knew that would be our position. i knew that there would be unhappy people. so what we're here to day to talk about is the equity task force is final report. next i will be introducing joey gentry, who's a member of the equity task force, who will be speaking on the water issue in climate thank you.
7:55 pm
thank you again for being here. klamath has a history of racism that continues to be handed down from generation to generation . our water crisis still exists today because of racism against the tribe and racism against the tribe exists in part today because of our water crisis. i'm just going to read some community sentiment in words and indians. could it get any worse? this is a cowboys and indians fight to bad. we didn't finish the job the 1st time. we are asking you to issue a formal proclamation, acknowledging that a long history of anti indigenous racism has worse and disagreements over water. how i knew i was a native how i knew i was climate indian is because i fished with my dad.
7:56 pm
we're just asking for our fish to be preserved to prevent them from going extinct a following month, the city council disbanded the task force without acting on his recommendations. ah, lulu, our creation story tells us that the 1st guy that people die. so we have to hear the message that our fish are telling and, and if it doesn't rain, people are going to go to the kitchen or no water. going to come out of the tap. it's happening. gracious god, we're grateful that we can come together as your people and lift up things that are on our hearts to you, the living god listens to our prayers. it encourages us there's
7:57 pm
massive wildfires, massive hurricanes and there's about to be water shut off on big scale. ah, existential crisis that we best solve. i don't know how we fix it, but i know that coming to terms with that history and it's a problem is step lawn. ah, for this turn i almost camp here. unlike a 2001. whites for support for the farmers protest, never materialized the summer. they packed up and left,
7:58 pm
2 days after the racial equity task force presented a to force or travel quickly that the bucket was going. oh, they're gone, gone. the buckets gone till they're good. how awesome is that? a good to see a distraction is gone. i guess that we're doing some work, i guess it's starting to make a difference. so now the real work begins.
8:00 pm
