The Feather River Advocacy Project (FRAP), led by Redbud Resource Group, brings together Indigenous, community leaders, and advocates to explore the history, impact, and future of the Feather River watershed. Through community-based learning and storytelling, the project creates space for Indigenous voices and perspectives that have historically been absent from regional conversations about water, land, and infrastructure.

 

At the center of this work is a short documentary film that tells the story of the Oroville Dam through the lived experiences and perspectives of Indigenous communities whose relationships with the Feather River extend back generations. While the dam is often discussed through the lens of engineering, policy, and disaster response, Indigenous perspectives on the river and its transformation have rarely been included in those narratives.
