California redwood forest returned to native tribal group
Source: Associated Press/By Brian Melley
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The descendants of Native American tribes on the Northern California coast are reclaiming a bit of their heritage that includes ancient redwoods that have stood since their ancestors walked the land.
Save the Redwoods League planned to announce Tuesday that it is transferring more than 500 acres (202 hectares) on the Lost Coast to the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council.
The group of 10 tribes that have inhabited the area for thousands of years will be responsible for protecting the land dubbed Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ, or “Fish Run Place,” in the Sinkyone language.

The transfer marks a step in the growing Land Back movement to return Indigenous homelands to the descendants of those who lived there for millennia before European settlers arrived.

A feel good story.

Many of these newcomers are fire refugees and climate refugees.
The area has few shops and restaurants, etc.
These newcomers to the region want to tear it all down and build build build. Many are very pissed because the housing for them (and others) is simply not there.
Oh well ...
Now they will be responsible for raking their own leaves
