While the federal government sees the prospect of raising the height of Shasta Dam as a way to increase water storage for a thirsty California, the Winnemem Wintu of Shasta County see it as a threat to their culture.
It was a theme picked up this week by American Rivers, a conservation group that named the McCloud River one of America s 10 most endangered rivers because of the proposal to raise the height of Shasta Dam.
“Raising the height of Shasta Dam would decimate more of the McCloud River,” Ron Stork, with Friends of the River, said in a news release.
