A landmark achievement for indigenous rights has returned 73 square miles of land along the Klamath River to the Yurok tribe in California. This represents the conclusion of a 23-year effort and stands as potentially the largest land-back deal in California history.
• The returned land includes Blue Creek watershed, a culturally significant tributary that provides refuge for salmon
• The tribe plans to manage the area as the Blue Creek Salmon Sanctuary and Yurok Tribal Community Forest
• Tribal Chair Joseph L James emphasizes "We are salmon people. The river takes care of us"
• The returned land complements ecological restoration efforts, including dam removals that have opened salmon spawning grounds
• The achievement serves as an important example for the Land Back Movement across North America
• Historical context from "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" highlights the systematic displacement of indigenous peoples
• Personal reflection on the importance of acknowledging America's colonial past and indigenous stewardship
If nobody told you they loved you today, I love you because you are you. Be yourself and open your heart today and let people in who are themselves.
