The Yurok Tribe of California on Saturday will protest the Department of Interior's water management policies in the Klamath Basin.

The tribe has treaty and fishing rights in the Klamath River. But the Bush administration has dedicated more water to non-Indian farmers on the California-Oregon border. Also, a Clinton administration decision to restore more flows to the Trinity River in order to fulfill the federal government's trust responsibilities is being challenged in court.

The tribe blames last year's fishkill on the mismanagement. Upwards of 33,000 adult salmon died last fall.

The tribe can be reached at (707) 482-1350.
