"The 73 square miles of forested land is over three times the size of Manhattan, according to Nelson Mathews, president of the Western Rivers Conservancy. The conservancy partnered with the Yurok Tribe for 23 years to return the massive parcel of stolen land, which is now called the Blue Creek Salmon Sanctuary and Yurok Tribal Community Forest and is fully owned and managed by the tribe."

While some people may envision historical Native Americans as mostly hunter-gatherers or nomads, "that is very incorrect"

"By the time colonists arrived, what they were encountering were a lot of pretty sedentary communities all over North America who were practicing various forms of farming"

"We've underestimated the geographic range, productivity, and sustainability of intensive Indigenous agriculture across North America"

On May 22, Colorado's governor signed the Protect Wild Bison bill, which creates a dual wildlife and livestock designation. Some conservation groups say it makes killing bison that cross into Colorado from other states illegal.

Jason Baldes is Eastern Shoshone and heads up the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative. He says Colorado's move shows growing public support for bison restoration.

Easy to digest info on the following and more:

Ok, so if DNA or family lore doesn’t make you Native, what does?

The reality is that reconciliation carries distinct meanings for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.

For Indigenous peoples, it involves healing, restoring cultural identity, addressing historical injustices, and asserting sovereignty. Acknowledging and respecting Indigenous laws, languages, and governance structures are essential, as well as redressing ongoing socio-economic disparities and injustices.

What is the Doctrine of Discovery and how does it continue to impact Indigenous peoples today?

From its roots in European settler colonialism to its widespread adoption and application, the Doctrine of Discovery has shaped the course of history. It has been used as a justification for the imposition of colonial laws on Indigenous peoples and the taking of Indigenous lands.

The #Felon47 administration has proposed cutting funding for tribal colleges and universities by nearly 90%, a move that would likely shut down most or all of the institutions created to serve students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities.

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closing
