Two women stand on a hillside overlooking a reservoir and dam, surrounded by dry grass, shrubs, and rolling hills. Both wear patterned beanies and jackets, with their backs turned toward the camera, gazing at the water and distant mountains under a cloudy sky.

Undammed

After witnessing a massive fish kill on her ancestral home waters, Yurok tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis dedicated her life to reversing the generations-long destruction wrought by the Klamath River dams. Undammed follows her journey to free the Klamath, from testifying before Congress to passing down fishing traditions within her young family. Now that the Klamath dams are finally coming down, she remains confident that the future of her tribe is bright. “It’s not a test,” Bowers Cordalis says of the largest dam-removal project in US history. “It will work.” Help restore the Klamath River by supporting Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group.
