Five California tribes will reclaim their right to manage coastal land significant to their history under a first-in-the-nation program backed with US$3.6 million in state money.
The tribes will rely on their traditional knowledge to protect more than 200 miles of coastline in the state, as climate change and human activity have impacted the vast area.
"It's focused on tribal sovereignty," she said. "So how do we build a network where it provides for collaboration, but again, it allows each tribe to do it in the way that they see fit and respects each tribe's sovereignty." She worked with other tribal leaders, members of nonprofit groups and the state's Ocean Protection Council, which coordinates activities of ocean-related state agencies, to develop a pilot program for the network that was years in the making.
Taking inspiration from similar partnerships in Australia and Canada, the groups said they hope other networks bloom across the United States. Creating a network of tribes to steward areas with the backing of state government money and nonprofit support breaks new ground in the United States, said Kaitilin Gaffney of the nonprofit Resources Legacy Fund.
