MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 12, 1928: The St. Francis Dam failed in Los Angeles, California, killing 431 people. It is the second deadliest disaster in California, after the 1906 earthquake, and one of the worst U.S. civil engineering disasters ever. A defective foundation and design flaws caused the failure. Yet, the inquest absolved chief engineer, William Mulholland, of all criminal responsibility, and he continued to earn a salary from the Bureau of Public Works (though his career was effectively ended). The authorities continued to find the remains of victims of the flood until the mid-1950s. Many of the victims were washed out to sea. Some washed ashore as far south as Mexico. Mulholland was also the designer of the 233-mile Los Angeles Aqueduct, which sucks water from the Owens Valley and is a major cause of the depletion of the fragile Mono Lake. As its water levels continues to decline, it threatens the world’s second largest gull rookery, home to up to 50,000 birds. The aqueduct’s construction, and the shady methods Mulholland used to acquire the water rights, led to the California Water Wars between L.A. County and Owens Valley farmers. Many of those same Anglo farmers (or their predecessors) usurped the land from Piute people during the 1863 Owens Valley Indian War, which was precipitated, in part, by the vast loss of human and cattle lives, and the displacements, caused by the Megaflood of 1861, which inundated much of the West, from Idaho and Oregon, down to northern Baja California. The corruption related to the construction of the aqueduct has been portrayed in the film Chinatown, and in the nonfiction book, “Cadillac Desert.”For more on the Megaflood of 1861, please read my article, “Worse Than the Big One”: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2023/01/04/worse-than-the-big-one-californias-coming-megaflood-2/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flood</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dam</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mulholland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mulholland</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/monolake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monolake</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/owensvalley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#owensvalley</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disaster</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nativeamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nativeamerican</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/piute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#piute</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chinatown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chinatown</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indianwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indianwar</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/habitatdestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habitatdestruction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/losangeles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#losangeles</a> @bookstadon

Shantell Powell<a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@waterlooregion</a> I just got a response which uses the word "unique" a lot without actually clarifying if Six Nations has been consulted or not. I'm thinking not. "Indigenous communities have a unique role in land use planning and development.  They contribute unique perspectives and traditional knowledge to land use matters including cultural heritage, natural heritage and water resources protection.  The City/ Township/ Region values the ongoing relationship with Indigenous communities. We look forward to continued collaboration with Indigenous communities on our Official Plan to continue to inform decision-making."   "In consideration of the existing trees on the site, City Staff work with the applicant to conserve trees whenever possible, recognizing them as essential infrastructure within our community."_____Personally, I question what "collaboration" is going on. The Land Back camp, after a lot of harrowing life in Willow Park (Victoria Park), managed to negotiate free use of the park facilities. It is a traditional/historical meeting place for Indigenous Peoples in the region. Yet within the last month, the City of Kitchener has started charging Indigenous groups money to use it again. That is not collaboration. That is colonialism. I also mistrust what they say about the trees. Last year, in the middle of nesting season, those trees were trimmed and the branches--baby birds and all--were thrown into a woodchipper. When I sent complaints to the city, they promised to get back to me and rectify the situation (I don't know how since they can't resurrect baby birds or undo the damage). No one ever did get back to me. <a href="https://c.im/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://chirp.social/@waterlooregion" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@waterlooregion</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ProtectTheTract" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProtectTheTract</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Haudenosaunee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Haudenosaunee</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SixNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SixNations</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Anishinaabeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anishinaabeg</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DishWithOneSpoonTreaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DishWithOneSpoonTreaty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HabitatDestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HabitatDestruction</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AnimalAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnimalAbuse</a>

LionelBA little movement on the orchid front. I have heard that the authorities were unaware of orchids on that site. They have added that to their map and will investigate. They try to balance road safety with biodiversity. Fair, I think. What they need are survey resources and links with community monitors.<a href="https://expressional.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/habitatdestruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#habitatdestruction</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/orchids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orchids</a>
