SACRED SUMMITS TO FRONTLINE ACTIONS: AN EVENING WITH PUA CASE AND CHIEF CALEEN SISK

TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2021 - 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM - ONLINE

Presented by the Walter H. Capps Center.

A conversation with Chief Caleen Sisk, the Spiritual Leader and Tribal Chief of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe in northern California. Her ancestral territory expands along the McCloud River watershed on Mt. Shasta. She is the fifth leader in an unbroken traditional leadership since settler contact who has dedicated her life to advocating for the restoration of salmon, water and the human right to water. She has received international honors as a tireless sacred site protector, and currently leads the tribe’s resistance against the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s proposal to raise Shasta Dam 18-feet and inundate or damage more than 40 sacred sites.
