Reservation Ranch Land Back: Support Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation Repatriate Unceded Land
Express your support for the return of unceded ancestral land to Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation. After 160 years of colonization approximately 1,600 acres of this traditional cultural property has been listed for sale by the long-standing settler family. Due to decades of destructive commercial agricultural use and unpermitted development of ungranted tidelands and navigable waterways the property owners have been issued a slew of egregious violations from the California Coastal Commission, California State Water Resources Board, National Marine Fisheries Service and California State Lands Commission. Located along the wild and scenic Smith River in northern California, this property lies in the heart of the Smith River Estuary and provides crucial habitat for a variety of flora and fauna, including Roosevelt Elk, waterfowl and Coho Salmon, an endangered species. The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation needs your help to return this unceded property back to our rightful ownership and to work towards the long overdue environmental and tribal justice this land and watershed deserves.
