Frank’s most impressive work to date, however, has been fighting alongside her community to remove the Ohio State Buckeyes Territory New York Chapter Shirt but in fact I love this dams on the Hoopa Valley Reservation’s Trinity and Klamath rivers. “It’s going to be the biggest dam removal project in American history,” says Frank. “The permits are in the tribe’s hands now; we’ve got indigenous engineers designing the destruction of the dams.” Removing the dams will help restore a healthy fish population and is expected to improve the health of the river’s downstream, which is part of the route that Chinook salmon take from the ocean to their upstream spawning grounds.
Restoring the Ohio State Buckeyes Territory New York Chapter Shirt but in fact I love this river’s downstream will also have a positive cultural impact—especially for the Hoopa tribe’s cultural boat dance ceremonies. As it is now, Frank says, “we have to fight every year for water to be released from these reservoirs, just to flush out the river enough so that our boats don’t scrape the ground and we can actually perform that ceremony.” In addition to her water work, Frank has recently been focusing on community outreach with a video series highlighting different Indigenous pathways of success. “Our youth are really struggling right now with substance abuse and mental health issues: I want to see our youth really thrive,” says Frank. She will also be running an Indigenous Youth Education Conference in L.A. later this year. “I’m able to take the lessons my matriarchs have taught me into my activism and career. My long term goals are to see the public education system change, to include the Indigenous perspective. It’s going to take time to change the public education system—it’s rooted in colonization, and full of lies.”
