Northern California Tribal Members Protest at Westlands Office Over Water
From The Fresno Bee:
“Members of two Northern California tribes Tuesday demonstrated at Westlands Water District, asking district officials to drop their lawsuit against water releases that would protect a large run of salmon.
“The Hoopa and Yurok members are in Fresno this week for U.S. District Court hearings in the case, which begin Wednesday. …
“But Westlands leaders said the lawsuit would continue, adding that the water should be made available to contractors, as federal rules have established.”
