Holding the Headwaters: Northern California Indian Resistance to State and Corporate Water Development

Three case studies of Indigenous opposition to state-sanctioned resource development projects: the Winnemem Wintu efforts to stop the proposed raise of Shasta Dam; the Maidu Summit’s work to regain ownership of former Pacific Gas & Electric company land; and the Pit River Tribe’s struggle to protect the sacred Medicine Lake Highlands.
