Summary
The legacy of the past in the Owens Valley of California reverberates today, as it has for over a century, through the West and across the nation. The valley's water that flows to Los Angeles has long symbolized the dilemmas and conflicts associated with large-scale water transfers. Here, too, is Manzanar, a former Paiute area and pioneer community, a symbol as well of the confinement of more than 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry in relocation camps during World War II.
