Yuroks Buy Blue Creek Watershed

Klamath Tribes
Blue Creek flows into the Klamath River.

The bond between salmon and the Yurok Tribe goes back thousands of years. 

And the relationship reached a new level with the recent purchase of much of the Blue Creek watersheed.  Blue Creek is a major tributary of the Klamath River, entering downstream from the Trinity River.  Yurok General Counsel Amy Cordalis returns to talk about the Blue Creek project... and the tribe's recently-filed federal RICO lawsuit against opioid drug manufacturers.
