At the center of the conversation is an intergenerational story: a family, a tribe, and a river bound together through culture, survival, and resistance.   They explore Amy\u2019s creative process, how she translated oral storytelling traditions into a \u201ccircular\u201d narrative form, and the challenge of writing a book that carries both personal memory and collective history.   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\u2019s not just a story of environmental restoration, but of cultural survival and hard-won victory. ","author_name":"Full Expression","author_url":"http:\/\/www.fullexpressionpodcast.com","html":"
