"More than a century has passed since members of the Shasta Indian Nation saw
the last piece of their ancestral home — a landscape along the Klamath River
where villages once stood — flooded by a massive hydroelectric project.
Now more than 2,800 acres of land that encompassed the settlement, known as
Kikacéki, will be returned to the tribe. The reclamation is part of the largest
river restoration effort in U.S. history, the removal of four dams and
reservoirs that had cut off the tribe from the spiritual center of their world.
“For so long we have felt a great loss, a loss of our family, our ancestors,
for the loss of our villages and ceremony sites,” said Janice Crowe, chair of
the Shasta Indian Nation. “Now we can return home, return to culture, return to
ceremony, and begin to weave a new story for the next generation of Shasta, who
will get to call our ancestral lands home once again.”"
