I urge you to sign this online petition to support Winnemen Wintu (McCloud River) Tribe sovereignty. Please copy and email this alert to everybody who would be interested in signing it.

The targets of the petition are Senator Barbara Boxer; Senator Dianne Feinstein and the California Congressional Delegation. The petition asks for legislation restoring the tribal rights of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, rectifying a century and a half of loss and suffering, and responding to AJR 39 - a joint resolution from the State of California calling for restoration of tribal status.

The Winnemem Wintu are leaders in the battle to restore the California Delta and Central Valley rivers and to stop water privatization on the McCloud River.

The goal of the petition is 1,000 signatures. To date, 314 people have signed. Please sign this petition now so thathttp://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/support-justice-for-the-winnemem-wintu-tribe
