    THE ROLE OF CRITICAL CARTOGRAPHY IN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: LAND-USE CONFLICT AT SHASTA DAM, CALIFORNIA A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Geography by Anne Kathryn McTavish San Francisco, California January, 2010 Copyright by Anne Kathryn McTavish 2010 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Role of Critical Cartography in Environmental Justice: Land-use Conflict at Shasta Dam, California by Anne Kathryn McTavish, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree: Master of Arts in Geography at San Francisco State University. ____________________________________________________ Nancy Lee Wilkinson Professor of Geography ____________________________________________________ Jerry Davis Professor of Geography THE ROLE OF CRITICAL CARTOGRAPHY IN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: LAND-USE CONFLICT AT SHASTA DAM, CALIFORNIA Anne Kathryn McTavish San Francisco State University 2010 The United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is conducting a feasibility study to increase the height of Shasta Dam. The Winnemem Wintu Indian Tribe contend that any increase in the storage capacity of Shasta Lake would inundate their remaining cultural and historic sites, tribal lands, and current homestead, an act they describe as “cultural genocide.” Critical Cartography plays a valuable role evaluating the Winnemem Wintu claim, revealing how the tribe’s claim to land was mapped, then unmapped, over the past two-hundred years. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. ___________________________________________ ________________ Chair, Thesis Committee Date ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been amazed, delighted, appalled, and humbled as I learned about the rights, issues, and status of the Winnemem Wintu.

    2006 –2007 Annual Report of the College of the Siskiyous and COS Foundation ce Learning Center ce Learning Weed Campus—DistanWeed Yreka Campus Quad Quad Yreka Campus College of the Siskiyous will serve our community and any student who can benefit from an exceptional learning environment which is safe, attractive and promotespromotes a passion for learning, cultural enrichment, and sense of belonging for all. Message from the College President Dear Friends: For the first time we are combining the annual reports for the College and the Foundation. I hope that you will find this new format both informative and an efficient means of giving you an update on what’s been happening at COS and within the Foundation over the past year. It is difficult to believe that another year has passed and we are preparing for the start of a new school year. As I look back over the time since I arrived on campus, I am struck by the changes we have seen and also how some things have remained the same. The past year has been one of intense activity. The hard work of providing the highest quality instruction and services to our students is given each year and our faculty and staff certainly lived up to the high standards they have set for themselves. In addition, this past year the campus engaged in an effort to develop a new twenty-year facilities master plan and began to implement that plan. We have completed the remodel of both resi- dence lodges on the Weed Campus. For the first time in anyone’s memory, we had an increase in the number of residence students from the Fall to Spring semesters and we are looking at beginning the Fall 2007 semester with both lodges at full capacity.
