Tribes and fishermen fight for Klamath water

TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 2003

Tribes and fishermen who depend on the Klamath River Basin are joining forces to fight for more water.

The two sides have had their differences in the past but are now working towards a common goal, the fisheries director for the Hoopa Valley Tribe of California said. "There's been a lot of change that's positive," Michael Orcutt told the Associated Press.

Tribes in northern California and southern Oregon depend on fish in the basin.
