Yurok Judge Abby Abinanti was among them, and decades later she would deepen her commitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, she began to expand the Yurok tribal justice system, launching a dedicated court docket to help tribal members struggling with substance abuse. To help participants repair the harm they’ve caused, so they could heal. So the community could heal. She called it \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-yurok-tribal-judge-20140305-dto-htmlstory.html\">Wellness Court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the state and federal system, they're very rights-based,” Abinanti said. “Our culture is very responsibility-based. And the responsibilities are interlocking in family and in community. So you have to assist people to meet their responsibility and come back into community in a good way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State court judges started releasing Yurok defendants to Abinanti’s court – and seeing results. So in 2015, she decided it was time to reach more tribal members cycling through county jail. A laborious rolling cross-tally of two separate databases revealed which Yurok members were incarcerated and why. The most common offense: domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Walking the path\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many defendants, it turned out, were in county jail for violating probation. For not completing the state’s 52 week batterer’s intervention program – the same one Mark had attended. One barrier was financial. Even at the lowest end of the sliding scale, the state program cost $1,000. There were transportation and child care problems, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Abinanti’s team decided to create their own 52-week batterers’ program, one that drew on core cultural values, and get the state to certify it as an option for state court defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prevalence of domestic violence was startling yet unsurprising. Surveys and focus groups conducted a few years earlier by the \u003ca href=\"https://nctcc.org/\">Northern California Tribal Court Coalition\u003c/a> – a collective of tribal judges – revealed the scope of the crisis. Nearly half the women and a fifth of the men who \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtinnovation.org/sites/default/files/documents/NCTCC_Responses_D_V.pdf\">responded\u003c/a> said they’d been abused by a partner. Drugs and alcohol played a role about two-thirds of the time. Lack of trust in law enforcement and state court systems was common. So was a lack of awareness of services at the county level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And participants “generally believed that these services lacked a necessary cultural component to ensure they were appropriate for a Native American population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court coalition stepped up to help build the Yurok batterers program, funding the training for two facilitators. It launched in 2016, with state certification, the first of its kind in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum includes the basics: Take full responsibility for your actions and identify your triggers. Specific Yurok cultural practices aren’t on the agenda. Because, the only way to make the program pencil out was to open it to everyone – tribal members from throughout the region and non-tribal members, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888130\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11888130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1315\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-800x548.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1020x699.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-160x110.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1536x1052.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yurok tribal member Lori Nesbitt was the founding facilitator of the Yurok Batterers Intervention Program, which takes a restorative approach to healing and emphasizes the roots of intergenerational trauma. It rolled out in 2016 and is certified by the state as one of the 52-week programs available to domestic violence offenders in Northern California.

All participants make a family tree, and conduct an interview with a community elder outside their immediate family about that generation’s experiences with domestic abuse. Participants are pressed to identify not just the family members that led them astray, but the ones who taught them cultural practices and helped root them to a sense of self – whatever their culture. Most of all, Nesbitt said she acknowledges past pain as the deep generational roots of family violence come to light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you've gone through this program, you can kind of acknowledge that, ‘Yeah some things happened. And I've repaired those.

But while she worked her program, Mark went to counseling and to a Christian faith-based recovery program that, he said, flooded him with “realizations and epiphanies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started learning about what PTSD was,” he said, \"and what it does to your body and the fear and how it paralyzes you...just understanding my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have now reunited, and both say a big part of their healing is participating in their own tribal community, giving back.

So in 2015, she decided it was time to reach more tribal members cycling through county jail.

For not completing the state’s 52 week batterer’s intervention program – the same one Mark had attended. One barrier was financial. Even at the lowest end of the sliding scale, the state program cost $1,000. There were transportation and child care problems, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Abinanti’s team decided to create their own 52-week batterers’ program, one that drew on core cultural values, and get the state to certify it as an option for state court defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prevalence of domestic violence was startling yet unsurprising. Surveys and focus groups conducted a few years earlier by the \u003ca href=\"https://nctcc.org/\">Northern California Tribal Court Coalition\u003c/a> – a collective of tribal judges – revealed the scope of the crisis. Nearly half the women and a fifth of the men who \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtinnovation.org/sites/default/files/documents/NCTCC_Responses_D_V.pdf\">responded\u003c/a> said they’d been abused by a partner. Drugs and alcohol played a role about two-thirds of the time. Lack of trust in law enforcement and state court systems was common. So was a lack of awareness of services at the county level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And participants “generally believed that these services lacked a necessary cultural component to ensure they were appropriate for a Native American population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court coalition stepped up to help build the Yurok batterers program, funding the training for two facilitators. It launched in 2016, with state certification, the first of its kind in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum includes the basics: Take full responsibility for your actions and identify your triggers. Specific Yurok cultural practices aren’t on the agenda. Because, the only way to make the program pencil out was to open it to everyone – tribal members from throughout the region and non-tribal members, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888130\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11888130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1315\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-800x548.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1020x699.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-160x110.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1536x1052.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yurok tribal member Lori Nesbitt was the founding facilitator of the Yurok Batterers Intervention Program, which takes a restorative approach to healing and emphasizes the roots of intergenerational trauma. It rolled out in 2016 and is certified by the state as one of the 52-week programs available to domestic violence offenders in Northern California.

All participants make a family tree, and conduct an interview with a community elder outside their immediate family about that generation’s experiences with domestic abuse. Participants are pressed to identify not just the family members that led them astray, but the ones who taught them cultural practices and helped root them to a sense of self – whatever their culture. Most of all, Nesbitt said she acknowledges past pain as the deep generational roots of family violence come to light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you've gone through this program, you can kind of acknowledge that, ‘Yeah some things happened. And I've repaired those. I've forgiven myself,’ ” she said. “However they choose to find that forgiveness, to me, is their pathway to healing for the rest of their life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Self-forgiveness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After Lydia’s arrest, state prosecutors offered her the same deal as Mark. Complete a 52-week batterers intervention program and her charge would disappear. She chose the Yurok one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Instead of me being the victim all the time, I learned that I was also abuser,” she said. “I learned that I did that to my children. Because I had the choice to leave.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The turning point: understanding the context of her trauma and the chain of traumas that came before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I learned how to love myself,” she said. “I’m just now feeling like I don’t walk around in shame.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple separated after Lydia’s arrest. But while she worked her program, Mark went to counseling and to a Christian faith-based recovery program that, he said, flooded him with “realizations and epiphanies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started learning about what PTSD was,” he said, \"and what it does to your body and the fear and how it paralyzes you...just understanding my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have now reunited, and both say a big part of their healing is participating in their own tribal community, giving back. Each has an idea that they believe would help tribal members affected by domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lydia’s is for a safe house for women and children, \"but it would have to be way up in the mountains, gated, with security. It would be a home with programs for them to heal, and the children to heal too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark’s idea is specifically for men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They go into an isolated place where they're taught their culture, where they're taught to fish, to dance, to sing, to give to your elders.

That should be especially true in the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, a huge marshland along the Pacific Flyway. But in 2012 a dry year cut water supplies, which then chopped available wetlands in half and accelerated the spread of avian cholera. \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/03/29/avian-cholera-kills-thousands-of-birds-in-northern-california/\" target=\"_blank\">Up to 20,000 birds died off\u003c/a>, including snow geese, ducks and coots. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water rights along the Klamath River have always been a matter of survival, and birds aren’t the only ones competing for water -- they're just the last in line. The federal government manages a complex hierarchy of rights along the river, claimed by irrigators, tribes and fish in the two states it runs through: California and Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And shortages are becoming more common. “The challenges we have here are because we’ve promised too much water to too many people,” says Trout Unlimited’s Chrysten Lambert. “We’ve promised more water than there is here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the November election has brought stories of uncertainty and division, in the Klamath Basin a sprawling and unlikely group of allies has been working across political lines for years to establish a sustainable sense of the river. Six years ago, they hashed out a huge compromise deal, to take out dams, sort out rights and allocate water. Without congressional support, that agreement died. But earlier this year, the dams’ owner, PacifiCorp, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/27/will-the-klamath-river-be-renewed-owner-applies-to-remove-4-of-5-dams/\" target=\"_blank\">applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to abandon its interests\u003c/a>, a move that doesn’t require congressional approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With dam removal now in process, sharing water remains a separate negotiation.

Paul Simmons, a lawyer for farmers and ranchers, says water rights are personal here for everyone. “It really is their identity and it’s an essential part of their culture,” he says. “When you start talking about changing that, it certainly is something that raises the stakes or makes the stakes different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Overlapping and Personal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Federally recognized tribes in Oregon claim the most senior water rights in the Klamath Basin.

And, while their rights vary, they share an interest in keeping enough water in the river to keep fish healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wendy Ferris-George, a Karuk tribal member, gets emotional when she talks about it. “I want the kids to be able to go down to the river and fish and bring home fish for their family,” she says, her voice quavering. “I want the grandmothers and grandfathers not to have to worry about their families starving. That’s what’s happening on the river. Our people are living in poverty, but to native people it’s our life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Endangered Species Act also claims water, to sustain and nurture sucker fish in Upper Klamath Lake, and salmon and steelhead downriver. Complicating all of this, farmers and irrigators say they need water first promised to them by the federal government a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, when there’s not enough water, federal and state programs have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on habitat restoration, fishery management, and even emergency aid for farmers.
