… leadership of the Hoopa Valley and Yurok tribes signed an agreement to share 50,000 acre feet of water from the Trinity Reservoir. It’s the latest push for water rights specified in 1950’s-era federal policy but have yet to materialize on the ground, despite a supportive 2014 U.S. Department of the Interior legal opinion. “This agreement is a victory, but there is much more work to be done. We will continue to advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural resources, ensuring future generations of our people have what they need to prosper,” said Joe James, chairman of the Yurok Tribe in a statement in the release.
