Introduction The headwaters of the Klamath River are fed by snowmelt and rain from the slopes of the southern Cascade Range that flow into the high desert of the Great Basin in Eastern Oregon.

The Klamath River Basin (KRB) encompasses a total of 5,700 square miles, draining about 17,900 cubic feet

Medicine River I enjoyed the book Medicine River, by Thomas King as well as the movie, which was based on the book. Although there were profound differences between the two, they were both pleasantly constructed.

Although the book and the movie clearly relayed the same story, I would’ve better enjoyed the movie if it had included more incidents

underworld. In the Greek myth, Orpheus has to travel through the five rivers of Hades (Phlegethon, Acheron, Lethe, Styx, and Cocytus) to retrieve Eurydice from the overseer of the underworld, Hades. In Black Orpheus, Orpheus does not travel through the actual rivers, but in my opinion, symbolic representations of them.
