| Summary: | "For young readers, an inspiring story about a river, a successful Native-led movement for environmental justice, and the making of a scientist. Growing up in the Yurok and Karuk Tribes, Brook Thompson learned to care for the fish that nurtured her and her family. She knew that along the Klamath River in Northern California, salmon and lampreys are a needed part of life. But she also saw how these fish were in danger. People had built dams along the Klamath River, making it very hard for salmon and lampreys to live. Tribal people and their friends organized to have four of the dams removed, and they won. [...] Thompson tells this inspiring tale, and she shares how it motivated her to become a scientist."-- |
