Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the egregious violations of environmental justice committed against Indigenous People since the Treaties of 1855. In recent years, beginning with the Boldt Decision of 1974, plus the Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act of 1980, and recent Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decisions, these justice violations have been increasingly remedied in ways reviewed here. These events concern the Klallam Tribe of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and dam removals along the Elwha River, the Klamath Basin Tribes of Southern Oregon and Northern California and dam removals on the Klamath River, and the Penobscot Tribe of Maine and dam removals on the Penobscot River. These are all reviewed in this chapter.
