Join us for a lively conversation with Amy Bowers Cordalis about her recent work, The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family’s Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life.  Ms. Cordalis will explore the impact of the damming of the Klamath River on the people who depend upon the river, and the role her organization has played in conservation.  Amy will be joined by ICW’s Co-Director Bill Deverell.
