Meanwhile, 16 Indigenous youth were practicing their rolls and ferry glides, honing the skills they\u2019ll need to be the first to paddle the Klamath from source to sea. With the three remaining dams scheduled to come down by January 2025, this dream will soon become a reality, and Paddle Tribal Waters is helping ensure they are ready\u2014one cohort at a time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy response to someone saying the dams should stay in is, I don\u2019t think they recognize the harm it\u2019s doing to the water\u2019s people, and the water itself and the salmon and the fish.
