The indigenous benefited from the freshwater lake, and call it “Pa’ashi”. Politicians declared this land “public”, and made the land available for private ownership to anyone who could drain it. Lake Tulare, as it is now named, became privately owned land. It made a return in 2023, and as we head into Summer, it appears that its levels will rise more. This post was inspired by this u-tub short.
