I want to add a subheading under the Legislation subheading about the EPA's Tribal Wetland Restoration Project
Explain why the EPA decided to start this program and why they thought it was important
What has the EPA been doing with this program recently - has it been successful
I want to add more information to the introduction about why wetland conservation is important to the ecosystem
Example of restoring wetlands with rice plants where rice plants used to naturally feel the fish in the river which the native people would catch to eat. "Rice supported our lives for generations" - Katz [1]
I am thinking about creating a subheading about damming in the United States and explaining the history of damming rivers in the United States and the effect this had on river and wetland health
ambitious goal of reopening fish freeways on the dam-choked Penobscot River - Katz [1]
In the Pacific Northwest, indigenous communities have been working for years to bring back the salmon and trout that once teemed in the Columbia River basin. The Columbia, one of the most heavily dammed and industrialized rivers on the continent, is also on American Rivers’ top ten endangered list. The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, a coalition of tribes with fishing rights on the river, has adopted a “gravel-to-gravel management approach concerned with all the issues impacting salmon throughout their life.” - Katz [1]
[2] This article can be used as evidence to the success of the Tribal Wetland Restoration Project, and why this restoration is important to the culture and livelihood of Native Tribes. Although this piece is about the Fond du Lac Band in Minnesota, it talks about different tribes all throughout the United States and gives a clearer overview to what different Tribes are doing to restore their wetlands - I would like to bring up these different tribes to demonstrate the unity many Tribes feel around this topic.
