years have been tied to the klamath river and the abundant salmon that once swam through it. >> without salmon in the river, there's no need for yurok people to be here. >> reporter: but this essential artery was blocked more than a century ago when construction started on four dams along the klamath. they generated power that fueled western expansion but decimated the salmon population, which could no longer swim upstream to spawn. stagnant water behind the dams became a toxic stew of green algae. >> and so what have these dams symbolized to you? >> as a monument to manifest destiny, this idea that we're not a part of nature. it's here for our use, and we could do whatever we want with no consequences. >> you guys want to have war? let's have war. >> reporter: now after decades of conflict and tribal activism against the dams, the once shackled klamath is being set
