THE NISENAN FIGHT TO BE HEARD ON THE BEAR RIVER
“The Bear River is an important piece of Nisenan culture both today and in our long, rich history. The Gold Rush era completely changed our waterways, and we cherish this last wild and free-flowing stretch of water. To flood this landscape is to further erase the Nisenan culture from the land; we can’t face that again.” – Shelly Covert, Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe. Read Covert's full blog post in America’s Most Endangered Rivers® series spotlighting the Bear Riverhere.

"Informed Consent is the process in medicine for getting permission before doing a treatment or procedure. It’s a discussion that a clinician has with a patient before starting a treatment or performing surgery. It’s transparency in medicine...NID prescribed Centennial Dam for us, but there is no informed consent." – Dr. Roger Hicks in his comments to the NID Board, May 25.
