After 2 months of public pressure, thanks to people around the world, the US Forest Service agreed to close the McCloud River for the Winnemem Wintu Coming of Age ceremony in June-July, 2012. But instead of protecting us from harassment, Forest Service law enforcement became the biggest harassers, interrupting ceremony every day.
