This is stolen land, stolen water. A system of state sponsored violence was directed to drive the Yokut people from this land. The state should work to restore this lake as a means to right a historic wrong. #California #TulareLake #Yokut #Reparations

#Reclaimed by #nature: No fewer than 40 #native #Yokut groups lived along the shores, using tule reeds to fashion homes, boats and baskets and fishing for #salmon. A century and a half ago, Corcoran would have been at the bottom of Tulare Lake. A series of #levees today prevents water from returning. The recent flooding, though, is testing these defenses. https://www.sfchronicle.com/climate/article/tulare-lake-water-california-17846366.php

#Introduction I'm Buddy, pronouns he/him/el/any said respectfully. I'm a public education worker and graduate student who would like to engage in dialogue toward forming union co-op community open schools.
