Module 5.0: Navigating Land Repatriation/ Rematriation

Module 5.0: Navigating Land Repatriation/ Rematriation

In the 21st century, many culturally important places remain out of tribal jurisdiction. Working with diverse California tribal members including Alan Wallace (Nisenan, Washoe), Morning Star Gali (Pit River), and Lorena Gorbet (Mountain Maidu), Beth Rose, Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie (UCD), and Kathleen Whiteley (UCD) aim to contribute to processes and policies to facilitate land return. Multimedia curricula will examine the collaborative policy and legal mechanisms that facilitate land transfers. This module is a necessary contribution of the University of California, as it will benefit not only the First People of California by foregrounding examples of successful cultural resource protection and land stewardship, but also the broader public wrestling with a painful State legacy of violence, removal, and land seizure. This module offers direction to policymakers, land managers, and landowners to collaborate with Native Nations to practically respond to Gov Newsom’s call for truth and healing (Executive Order N-15-19).
