Hetch Hetch Waters and the Miwoks

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is looking to revamp the Hetch Hetchy system that provides clean drinking water to millions of people to many Bayarea counties including San Francisco. There are others that want to drain Hetch Hetchy and restore it to it former glory just like John Muir wanted it. The Miwoks respect the Hetch Hetchy Valley and consider the waters from the source pure and holy. The valley should be restored to its former glory. The water that is diverted should fill the rivers so that the fish may swim freely and the riparian bluffs show off their former glory. The First People of the area including the Miwoks should be given back their rights and the former stolen land restored to its former glory.
