This post is for completeness, really. Long-term readers may recall the dam on the Klamath River<\/em> in Oregon had been taken down, and a chinook salmon run took place<\/a> a short while later.

As salmon return to the headwaters of the Klamath River for the first time in over 100 years after the removal of four dams, the newly formed Klamath Indigenous Land Trust (KILT) and PacifiCorp announced the landmark purchase of 10,000 acres in and around the former reservoir reach of the river, according to a press statement.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the trust say the transaction represents \u201cone of the largest private land purchases by an Indigenous-led land trust in U.S. history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDam removal allowed the salmon to return home. Returning these lands to Indigenous care ensures that home will be a place where they can flourish and recover,\u201d said Molli Myers (Karuk), President of the Klamath Indigenous Land Trust Board of Directors. \u201cOur communities spent generations fighting for this moment and we honor our ancestors who carried this vision forward.
