This week we’re sharing a story from Underscore Native News about Indigenous youth paddling down the undammed Klamath River in a celebration of historic restoration. We’ve also got an update on the recall effort in the city of Blue Lake and what it means for the embattled city council going forward. Finally, take an ocean trip with birders — but bring your motion sickness meds. Hit subscribe for weekly updates on Humboldt stories.
