At the center of the conversation is an intergenerational story: a family, a tribe, and a river bound together through culture, survival, and resistance. &amp;nbsp; They explore Amy’s creative process, how she translated oral storytelling traditions into a “circular” narrative form, and the challenge of writing a book that carries both personal memory and collective history. &amp;nbsp; The conversation also dives into the deeper stakes behind the story: the history of dispossession, the criminalization of Indigenous lifeways, and the decades-long legal and grassroots battle that ultimately led to the removal of four dams on the Klamath River. It’s not just a story of environmental restoration, but of cultural survival and hard-won victory.
