Title: Social im pact assessment of Klamath dam removal: Learning from the Karuk Tribe’s leadership for eco-cultural revitalization

This collaborative rese arch initiative with the Karuk Tribe seeks to understand the social, cul tural and economic impacts of dam removal and river restoration in the K lamath Basin from a Tribal perspective (California, Oregon, United State s). Dam removal is part of a broader Tribal strategy for basin-wide ecol ogical and cultural revitalization of the Klamath watershed, where Indig enous knowledge systems elucidate deeply interconnected ecological and c ultural processes that co-shape this place and its peoples. This talk re flects on twenty years of Indigenous-led advocacy, policy, and science l eading to the removal of four dams on the mid-Klamath this year, and sha res initial results of our social impact assessment of Klamath dam remov al with Tribal partners: https://damremovalsocialimpact.com. The assessm ent illustrates how Karuk community leaders are recasting dam removal as Indigenous eco-cultural revitalization--shifting the meaning of infrast ructure removal to conceptualize a more holistic reference system for Kl amath Basin restoration that accounts for Tribal community well-being.
