I certainly feel horrible for family farmers there but building a life in a lake bed that was artificially drained, sooner or later it was going to come back with the right conditions.
Not only is Lake Tulare or Tule lake but also Owens Lake has come back too so much water that its filling these lakes again a real blessing after so many years of drought and depletion of the aquifer.
There are multiple definition of drought. They lie to us by using he ad need based definition rather than the meteorological definition. They are devastating the land so that a small number of families can be insanely rich exporting ag products not only around the nation but across the globe.
@@kingboagart899 I love how people like you have this fictional characterization of what the American Indian people are like. Obviously, you have never spent ANY time on a reservation. Besides casinos, they offer an extreme murder rate, as well as violent crime. High drug and alcohol use, high percentage of rape. But you picture them as some sort of "spiritual simple people".

...In the year 1957, I was born and raised along the Kings River as were my parents in the Sanger-Reedley-Porterville area where the rivers flowed into the Lake Basin. Before the dams were built my uncles and father - who were born in the 1920s - said they would cross the great river basins in rafts and would play games with the local "Yokut" boys living near the river bottoms. The great rains would fill the Lake Basin and the locals always felt it was strange that someone would want to plant trees and farm the great Lake Basin.
@@bouji_ I don't think any dam would have to be torn down. I think sharing the water from the rivers that naturally drain to the lake should be sufficient to keep the lake alive. BTW they're already tearing down dams at the Klamath River.
When Mother Nature provides a drought stricken area with megatons of rainwater , snow, and precipitation, as with all of the storms that ravaged the area the past year or so, it is imperative that the people and the caretakers of the land, retain and preserve as much of the water as possible. Fresh water has been disappearing for decades, and it's great that these people recognize and cherish that. This should set an example to the entire state and Country that the gifts the Earth provides to us should be valued highly and preserved. After all those years of severe drought, the rains and winter storms finally came. As a species, it would be very difficult to survive without an abundant supply of fresh water..

I am all for less vegetable and fruit farming and can see how a stocked fish lake would be more sustainable and provide better food than Agriculture. Vegetarians won't like it, but veggies are generally a luxury.
@@MikeM-qy9zzVery dumb comment in so many ways. Most of the land that is underwater is owned by Boswell Family Farms and they grow cotton, alfalfa, and tomatoes, which are by far some of the most water-intensive crops. California can easily change some policies and still keep growing all the vegetables.
@@JonBrownSherman are you a farmer? I am a farmer. Acres of veggies are going to be extremely water intensive, more so than ranching the same land with ducks, sheep, goats etc.... Or in this case, stocking the lake with a fish species. Vegetable growing also means that most mammals (rabbits etc ...) Have to die, look at a modern agriculture farm and it is very destructive to the natural habitat. I run and operate an organic/sustainable farm without pesticides or herbicides in Heavener Oklahoma... What do you do that makes you an expert?
@@MikeM-qy9zz My friend, farming in Oklahoma is so far removed from the realities of farming in California. I have many farmers growing organically in production ag. Los Angeles once was the most prosperous agricultural county in the whole of the United States, not anymore, it has all been taken by businesses and homes, in other words, people that produce goods or services that sometimes you even use and appreciate. I guess getting your produce and fiber from Mexico is just great? Would you yourself compare your organic products to items coming from Mexico? No comparison.
@@randyisthechase5008 I lived in San Diego 2008-2016 and went to Suzie's Farm in Imperial Beach, which got sold and turned into a development. The food supply on this country is alarming to say the least, and is completely dependent on slave labor, electricity, gasoline, and chemicals I wish I could farm in SoCal instead of Oklahoma lol!
It seems to me that a lake that large would affect the local climate. Could it be that the loss of the lake could have contributed to the persistent drought conditions in the area?
Certainly. One example: The lake replenished the ground water, the aquifers, so whereas in a lot of places out there, people's wells have gone dry and new wells can't be dug deep enough to reach water, if the lake were still there that problem would be very different today.
That, but also the City of Los Angeles bought the water rights to the region and diverted it towards the city. That's why there's a large section of Central California that's almost uninhabitable, because most natural sources of water have been diverted and stripped from the local population.
The government should buy out the flooded land and turn it into a park/nature reserve. The lake sustains the local ecosystem, it should be allowed to return once more. As for farmland, with excess freshwater, whenever there is excess, divert it to the desert and green the deserts. That way we can have both the lake and more farmland. Once the deserts turn green it becomes a self sustaining ecosystem, the water will continue to cycle within it without having to have external water added into it to keep it verdant.
I’m so excited! This is great news, both as a farmer and nature lover. These giant farms aren’t good for small farmers or the environment, and the lake is so important! ❤
This is both heartbreaking and beautiful. Go Tulare lake, may you refill and reclaim your abundance. And may your people thrive! Native Californian here; love seeing glimpses of California before corporate greed and working against nature became the norm. We can create thriving abundance for everyone here working *with* Nature. 💚💚💚
Hello, I am a graduate student working on a thesis focusing on the Yokuts of Tulare Lake and their struggle against 18th and 19th century colonialism. Would you be willing to share some of your sources? Thank you!
Because they drain Lake Tulare, they want to divert the water from the Delta for their crops. This needs to stop they are destroying Mother Earth. We do not need to become another Texas.
This lake was a lake before it was farmland ! The state of California is going to have to come up with the proper solution to maintain a balance hopefully! California is a power house
Hmm so i live in the southern part of the valley and so much farmland is drained wetlands. They get floody septics fail. Its a real common issue in the US to build where geography puts water. These lakes where natives fished were drained. Imagine how those areas would have helped over this drought. There is this story of "the king of california" who manage ti get water rights for all this land then drained it and sold of the land. A very american story of suffering for the sake of one rich man
So much respect for those who came before us, who were here from the beginning, truly existing on what it took to live on what was presented to them, undisturbed for thousands of years, understanding the land and its resources and thriving for millennium. Unfortunately, as the world’s population has increased and expanded, we can no longer exist as a hunter and gathering peoples, granted the exploitation of indigenous peoples across the world is appalling and should never be forgotten but ultimately the progression of modern man is perpetual and the guttural reaction to feed the world from taming the land from the standpoint of modern agriculture is a testament to both indigenous peoples and recognizing the potential of feeding and providing to countless generations in the future😎😎😎
In the 1800s, steamships could travel from SF Bay to Tulare Lake. In WW2 it was used as an alternate landing area for flying boats if the Bay was too choppy. The lake was drained because greedy farmers saw extremely fertile land they could steal from the Indians with no consequences. They'd set the tules on fire to burn out the Indians. And yet we're told it's a disaster the lake is back?
That 1800's line about "Steamships traveling from SF to Tulare Lake" is a Myth! Flying boats use it as a alternate landing site, its too far from SF, and with all that water, comes,,, FOG. So how could they land or see it. I can tell youve never experienced the dense fog this valley can make.🤠
thats because colonial settlers are still in colonizing mode. the whole immigration debate is to keep the indigenous population of the americas from out numbering them. latinos on the southern border are mostly indigenous people who were colonized into a spanish identity. the whole south west only been in the united states since 1850.
Read several years ago about a lake that used to exist decades ago. Now as if a miracle, no it is a miracle. While I don't know the detailed stories of this large area. I believe finding a way to preserve the water level of this lake is essential
That’s what I technically got told by my mother. And by sicon of course that Tulare was just a big big lake until the whites drained it and it became just crops until the rains come crashing down from the heavens and fill Tulare lake again.. I with native blood believe we can restore how nature really was.. grateful for the water that has come back to the Central Valley the lake will hopefully provide for us
I love seeing this lovely blessing of nature return, even if it's a temporary phenomenon. Didn't know about the native tribe's history there, but I shouldn't be surprised. So much that we don't know about the story behind the development of our country. Very enlightening. This is a sign from the higher powers. Hopefully, we'll learn the correct lessons from this amazing twist of fate.
Isn't this a good thing? California has been having major drought issues, now the largest fresh water lake has finally returned. I think it is a cause of celebration.
The rape of California for white man’s profit is appalling. I hate that the indigenous populations of the USA have been treated so miserably. People - lost. Cultures - lost. Spirituality - lost. May the Great Creator protect those of the tribes that are still left…and let Pa’ ashi live!
lol.... Well, now the Chinese, Muslims, SE Asians, Indians from India are coming in fast and they will be the new rulers and they won't bow to your social justice cries...meanwhile people like YOU are still talking about 'da white man blah blah blah' LMAOOO
And here you are using the white mans tech to speak to many people. Ain't white man tech grand? BTW....what happened is as old as man has walked the earth. There are many peoples all around the world that have disappeared. Many peoples wiped off the face of the earth by 1 empire attacking another. Its the way it has always been.
"The fate of the conquered"...an age old story. Tell me, when your turn comes, will you be so reconciled to your fate? Color won't save you either. Just a reminder of how the world does turn. Marvelous to see this natural wonder resurrected!
Once in México Chapala lake was drain and people estar farming the land end the rain came back they lost everything tractor and Mony sorry for the farmers
This only proves nature will find a way, this lake should never have been drained it provides much more as a Lake and reservoir!! This I hope will spark a drive to re-instate Tulare as a Lake!!

still indigenous peoples lands. colonial settlers forget they come from some other continent and then call other indigenous peoples immigrants. nature reclaiming the lake just like they will be replaced. thats why they have so much fear in them.
@@episdosas9949 They lost the land in war. So its not their anymore, just as they stole it from someone else. Native Americans have no stake on the US as the US was formed by British settlers -they are just another people annexed into the country. The past is dead and buried. And so are the many Indigenous Nations.

If you ever read Adopted By Indians by Thomas Jefferson Mayfield, you know that the return of Lake Tulare is the land calling for its people. I approve of of Lake Tulare's return. I do not approve of land ownership. Land owns itself.
Hell of a cultural trait to forcibly take something from someone else, and then demonize anyone bothered by that violent theft. Justice looks like persecution to the unscrupulous.
It always scares me because as a person with Native blood and African blood I see what has happened here and I think abt what they are doing and never going to stop trying to do to and in Africa. I never want to see the African ppl coming back to their own land to talk abt it from a perspective of it having been drastically taken from them and Nature reclaiming the damages the caucasians inflict on earth. Hope for Native America to me is Hope as well for Mother Africa 🤎🧡💛

2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
What man taketh away God give back 🎉🎉
Blessing
So cool
Awesome
This is a sad story
Native land don’t forget …..
Give up your home and move out of the Western Hemisphere then, it is "all Native land.
Not Native land anymore
@@stephenjenkins7971 says eho
still indigenous peoples lands. colonial settlers forget they come from some other continent and then call other indigenous peoples immigrants. nature reclaiming the lake just like they will be replaced. thats why they have so much fear in them.
@@episdosas9949 They lost the land in war. So its not their anymore, just as they stole it from someone else. Native Americans have no stake on the US as the US was formed by British settlers -they are just another people annexed into the country.
The past is dead and buried. And so are the many Indigenous Nations.
🎶With no more flowers and my love to comeback🎶 🎶No more will my green sea
Go turn a deeper blue🎶
🎶I could not foresee this thing
Happening to you🎶
🎶If I look hard enough
Into the setting sun🎶
🎶My love will laugh with me
Before the morning comes🎶✨😈✨✨
Hopefully, the lake stays forever !
THE REAL AMERICANS!
There still is wonder to be found and shared.
If you ever read Adopted By Indians by Thomas Jefferson Mayfield, you know that the return of Lake Tulare is the land calling for its people. I approve of of Lake Tulare's return. I do not approve of land ownership. Land owns itself.
Thank you good Lord
Amazing change God is Great!
Update…. It’s gone…… shock
I’m from kern county ❤❤❤❤
Speak the truth brother.
Might as well leave it alone.
they still have to close of the diversion that killed it and stuff
Hell of a cultural trait to forcibly take something from someone else, and then demonize anyone bothered by that violent theft.
Justice looks like persecution to the unscrupulous.
I grew up in the 1960s. In school, we learned about these great fetes of engineering. Now, we’re learning about the great loss of culture.
Look at Our Powerful Creator !!! It gives me chills to be in the presence of such a force of Nature !! Breathe again
It always scares me because as a person with Native blood and African blood I see what has happened here and I think abt what they are doing and never going to stop trying to do to and in Africa. I never want to see the African ppl coming back to their own land to talk abt it from a perspective of it having been drastically taken from them and Nature reclaiming the damages the caucasians inflict on earth. Hope for Native America to me is Hope as well for Mother Africa 🤎🧡💛
