Panther Spring Runs Dry
[QUICKTIME http://stream.qtv.apple.com/qtv/wilco/panther_spring_ref.mov 450 256 true true]
Caleen Sisk-Franco, Spiritual Leader and Tribal Chief of the Winnemem Wintu, discovered last week that the healing spring on Mt. Shasta that is the birthplace of both the Winnemem people and their ancestral river had dried up. Everyone asked why — Global warming? Cremation ashes that have been dumped in the spring by New Age visitors? Forest Service management practices? Water bottling plants sucking water out of the base of the mountain? For the full, sad story — you can read the November 10 weblog posting.
