Will Columbia-Snake River Salmon Be Saved?

Leanne Roulson, WDAFS president, says if fish numbers continue to decline, her group has determined the plan isn’t aggressive enough to save them.
“We’re all about preserving and conserving the fisheries resource, while the political aspects of it are not really relevant to the stances we take or the opinions we put out there.”

April 23, 2009
Clara motioned that the Maidu Summit Consortium offer its full support to Bill Jacobsen and Tyrone Gore (Sierra Salmon Alliance) to continue their efforts for the consideration of Traditional Cultural Properties (TCPs) in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission re-licensing of the Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Project (FERC 2266). The Summit authorizes the Sierra Salmon Alliance to speak on their behalf in this process. Ben seconded the motion. Four member organizations approved.

The Maidu Summit is a consortium of Mountain Maidu groups composed of two recognized rancherias (Greenville and Susanville), two petitioning tribes (Tsi’Akim and United Maidu Nation), three non-profit organizations (Tasmam Koyom Cultural Foundation, Maidu Cultural and Development Group, and Roundhouse Council), and two Indian organizations (Maiduk We’ye and Mountain Maidu Preservation Association).

The Agenda of Sierra Salmon Alliance:

SALMON PASSAGE
FERC RELICENSING LEADERSHIP
COMMUNITY & TRIBAL COALITION BUILDING
YOUTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
WATERSCAPE PLANNING
ENDANGERED NATIVE PLANT RESTORATION
HYDROPOWER REFORM POLICY DEVELOPMENT

Alliances

Just because we are in the Sierra’s does not mean that tribal and community people can not participate. Our call is about
everyone. Every community has something to “call back,” that which has been lost. From prairie dogs to red-legged frogs, we can help each other.

We have drifted too far from Creator. It is time for all people, of all color, to acknowledge that we are people of the earth.
As we know this, we begin our collective walk toward meaning, toward sharing our unique gift of self, and realizing our highest vision of life.

Saving Sierra Salmon grows from a region on the map of the earth where people have joined together to share their voice
in the FERC relicensing process. We hope to connect our voice with your voice. Let us put a pin on the map of where we are, so that we may connect our collective vision.
