Guarding Ancestral Grounds with the Wiyot (Preview)

Green energy does not always promote the greater good. The Wiyot tribe from Humboldt County have fought for restored access to their land, including their traditional ceremonial grounds on Tululwat Island. When an energy developer proposed a large wind project on a spiritual and gathering area, the Wiyot opposed the project's greater ecological disruption and rallied the community to defeat it.
