Description: Join author Kathleen Dean Moore, in conversation with Tom Fleischner, Executive Director of the Natural History Institute, as they celebrate the song-graced planet and its music-makers – whales and wolves, toads, sage grouse, and the glorious meadowlark. How can we tune ourselves to the music that surrounds us? How can we bear the sorrow of its silencing? Where do we turn, when words are not enough to express the urgency of action to save the songs?  Hear Kathleen read from her new book, Earth’s Wild Music. Hear a tiny concert, “Sidewinder Rattlesnake,” with author Craig Childs, accompanied by jazz percussionist Jonathan Rodriguez. Listen-- as wolves howl, loons call, thrushes whistle, and humpback whales roar on this music-box of a planet. Co-Sponsors: Counterpoint Press, Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill, Peregrine Book Co., PLAYA: a center for the intersection for art and science, The Spring Creek Project, The Safina Center, and Center for Humans and Nature.

Yurok fisherman and tribal leader Sammy Gensaw and environmental scientist-turned-activist Craig Tucker share the epic story of how Indigenous leadership and non-Indian allyship made the impossible inevitable: the biggest-ever dam removal and salmon restoration in history. It represented a literal watershed moment; unprecedented co-equal decision-making between the tribes and their historical nemesis – the US government. Once complete in 2024, the project will liberate the Klamath river and several tributaries to once again run free across 400-miles from Oregon through California and into the Pacific Ocean. Featuring Sammy Gensaw (Yurok) is the Founding Director of the Ancestral Guard (https://naturerightscouncil.org/ancestral-guard) , Artist, Yurok Language Speaker, Singer, Writer, Cultural/Political/Environmental Activist, Regalia Maker, Mediator, Youth Leader & Fisherman.

After witnessing a massive fish kill on her ancestral home waters, Yurok tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis dedicated her life to reversing the generations-long destruction wrought by the Klamath River dams. Undammed follows her journey to free the Klamath, from testifying before Congress to passing down fishing traditions within her young family. Now that the Klamath dams are finally coming down, she remains confident that the future of her tribe is bright. “It’s not a test,” Bowers Cordalis says of the largest dam-removal project in US history. “It will work.” Help restore the Klamath River by supporting Ridges to Riffles Indigenous Conservation Group.
