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.
