How are native people fighting to protect their land and way of life?

On the next Your Call, we'll speak with members of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe from Northern California about their efforts to restore salmon to their spawning grounds on the McCloud River. "Our fight to return the salmon," they say, "is no less than a fight to save our Tribe." How does the health of an ecosystem affect the health of a people? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How are other indigenous people fighting back against the destruction of their home and culture? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:
Caleen Sisk-Franco, chief and spiritual leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe

Toby McLeod, director of In the Light of Reverence for the Sacred Land Film Project
