The dams are particularly troubling. With the demolition of the two Elwha dams (Washington State, Olympic Peninsula) and the subsequent revitalization (in process) of the waters and forest and salmon runs, healing is made manifest. The tribal reclamation of this magnificent ecosystem is pretty stupendous. There are more dams the need to be demolished just to save the salmon who will save the whales, who will save us (perhaps). The dams, the pipelines, the depredations innumerable upon our lands and waters are haunting and stand now as monuments to the hubris of colonizing peoples.
