Amy Bowers Cordalis, an Ashland-based Yurok tribal attorney, served as general counsel for the Yurok Tribe and directly resulted in removal of all four Klamath River dams in 2024. She will speak at the Ashland Public Library from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10. The Klamath River flows from Southern Oregon to Northern California and its salmon are central to Yurok cultural and subsistence life. Dams and development degraded the river for generations and diminished salmon runs that were once among the largest in the United States, according to NOAA Fisheries.
