Native in the Spotlight: Keeya Wiki
Keeya Wiki (Yurok and Maori) is not yet old enough to vote, but she is making waves in official discussions about climate policy and environmental sustainability.

Wiki was among a group of young people who made a historic kayak journey down the Klamath River from its source in the Cascade Mountains to its confluence with the Pacific Ocean after the largest dam removal project in history. It was both a celebration of her tribe’s accomplishments and a statement about what she sees as the future of successful, tribally-driven environmental policy.

Since then Wiki has also served as a delegate to the United Nation recent climate summit in Brazil. Tune into Native America Calling to hear about her determined and creative intersection of cultural knowledge and modern climate activism.

Keeya Wiki, 17, talks about the first descent of the Klamath River.
