The Chinook Salmon are an essential part of the cultural traditions of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, who takes care of the Salmon’s land and is deeply and spiritually connected to the Chinook Salmon (Julie Bongers). This tunnel project will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood and culture of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, a matrilineal Wintu-speaking community who are indigenous to the Winnemem, or McCloud River. This damaging project should be terminated immediately as its construction and operation will drive the Chinook Salmon to extinction, with over a hundred species following, devastating the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, local fisheries, and the beautiful ecosystem we currently have and need.
