Caleen Sisk, Chief of the Winnemem Wintu ONE of TWO

In 1941 Winnemem Wintu land that would be flooded by Lake Shasta had been taken under three provisions. The Wintu were to receive “like land” to that they had lost, a cemetery to re-bury their dead and money to rebuild. By 2014, none of the promises had been fulfilled. And worse. In 1986 the Wintu also were excluded from federal recognition as a bonified Indian tribe. As the Winnemem Wintu began fighting for the compensation of their losses as well as federal recognition a new threat emerged. Plans to raise the Shasta Dam are well underway and such a dam raise would submerge another 1.5 miles of the McCloud river including the ceremonial sites that the Wintu have used for thousands of years. Today the Winnemem Wintu are among the most eloquent opponents of the project to raise the Shasta Dam and also the strongest supporters of the return of the salmon that used to run so thick in the McCloud, Sacramento and Pit Rivers that horses were afraid to wade through the churning waters. The Winnemem Wintu are taking on the most powerful institutions of the day: From the corporations that buy and control water, the Agribusinesses that bribe politicians for access to water and the current state agencies and government that want to dramatically increase the water transfer from Northern California to the deserts of the South by building the Delta Twin Tunnels. The current 2013/14 drought is being used to sell the project to the public – who will have to pay for it. However that water is already earmarked for agribusiness and for the oil companies that want to use it for fracking.

Doug Fine: Hemp Bound

All of us have seen the explosion of hemp-based products – hemp seed oil and hemp clothing seem to be everywhere. But, up until now, all of these items have been imported into the US. Well, the ban on industrial hemp, a crop which, for some strange and suspicious reason got lumped in with its psychoactive cousin during this country’s anti-marijuana laws of the 1930s, finally looks to be ending. Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio, author Doug Fine, tells host Alex Wise why this is such a promising development for both environmentalists and capitalists. Fine explores the long and fascinating history of hemp in America, a crop that was actually illegal not to grow in colonial days, and examines how industries are finding new and exciting ways to innovate with this hardy and practical plant.

Adam Browning: Solar Strides

The signs of solar power becoming a truly self-sustaining industry are manifold: Solar manufacturing costs fell by between 70 and 80 per cent from 2007 to 2012 while at the same time, the efficiency rates of solar panels continue to improve. But this success has also led to pushback from many of our nation’s utilities. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak again to the Executive Director of Vote Solar, Adam Browning, to discuss some of the policies that have helped the solar explosion, how public utilities are reacting to the success of solar in very different ways, and what steps are being taken to start getting solar to the millions of Americans who are not homeowners.
