Let's restore the largest natural lake on the west coast,California's Tulare Lake. It was dried up over 100 years ago to make way for cotton farming. The local natives lived along its banks and thrived off its waters.
that's just tough. one of the largest tomato producers in america is the one who drained it. Now they're fighting it because it would "take their land away"
Tulare is shallow, and its banks were never consistant because they depended on the snowpack of the previous year. The size of Tulare always fluctuated.
This is truly good news. However it should be understood that 125 acres is a tiny, tiny fraction of what's been lost. We simply need to continue recovering while also Preserving!
The great redwood and Sequoia show scars from lighting storms. They're tough trees and can survive fire,drought, and lightning. Some of those scars are also the only lasting reminders of how strong storms have been and only a glimpse of what will come.
@@infernaldaedra After the CZU Lightning Complex fire, 30k hazard trees were removed from the park. Due to the redwood's fire resilience, only a handful of those trees were redwoods. I think the number was 6.
Well, it is in California. So we believe in the connection to the beauty of the land. I personally live in the mountains and right under these redwood trees. It is heaven here.
I live in Klamath on Tribal land. I've been here almost 42 years. My fiance' and I are building a small house on the property left to him by his mother. Almost all our neighbors are family. Tourist come and we enjoy sharing our glorious beauty. However they need to respect the land and all that is on it. Just look at how Yellowstone tourists are destroying the area and harassing the wild life. Please come visit, but leave it as it is when you leave. Thank you
Amen! It drives me nuts when idiots go into nature and trash it. They blast music, leave trash and don't stay on trails thus causing erosion. When people visit/hike in nature/the wilderness, please pick up all trash you see, respect and listen to the natural sounds, and stay on trails, so you leave it better than you found it.
Thank you for allowing us to visit and breath the air around the trees. It is a really precious experience. I live by an airport and one morning walking to work 2 months ago, a plane had to dump fuel to land safely and we the pedestrians could taste it.
This is the best situation we as a person who loves nature and trees could hope for, I am thrilled to see this land returned to our indigenous people. I am not indigenous but I am happy about land and cultural conservation.
@@kennethprola5136 Many of our Natives lived nomadic lifestyles for 1000s of years and were expected to take on the lifestyles of people who evolved on small islands. That's why ownership is so ingrained in some people's mentality.
Yes give the land. Back but also fund them to rebuild and revitalize. Everything is gone extracted. Are their seeds? Are their food sources? Is there water? How will they rebuild it ? Please help them .
Many of the native plants will return in time. Others need to be seeded to reintroduce them back to the land. land like this in the video would have had aboriginal people very much as a natural part of the ecosystem.
I was honored to be made an honorary chief of the Yurok tribe 20 years ago. Wonderful to see this happening. And I still cherish the giant bear claw and beads they gave me.
I'm so happy to see these lands go back to the rightfully people. I feel such a peaceful wave come over me when I am there. That's why I have always called it "my happy place" 😊
Actually, in truth, we all own it all. You don’t take ownership, you don’t treat it correctly. The second year put here it was given to you to take care of. If nobody owns it then we all keep trampling on ourselves. Also ownership is a completely different interpretation to some people, some may mean you have a piece of paper because you paid money, And some believe ownership means to take care of it as it’s yours.
Yes this entire planet needs to be in the hands of those human cultures that barely left a scar on Earth thru balanced life for thousands and thousands of years. Some of them are still holding on to the old stories and ways that can lead us all into a future of healing, I believe this and support this! It won't be easy and we will all make mistakes but from what I have learned, the indigenous people are well skilled at awareness and putting thier heart into actions of improvement.
@@jwt1035 Not here to argue...selfish short sightedness can't see truth. I've experienced this and witness it among family and friends, lots of time indoors numbs perception and causes problematic delusionary disconnected lifestyles bent on materialistic comfort and entertainment that harms and destroys the ecosystems you unknowingly depend on for your existense.
@@FeralEarthGardens I can’t say I disagree with anything you said. That being said, there is an unhealthy celebration of indigenous people in the anglosphere that is ignorant in their totality.
@@wreackingball327 Yes the natives in Mexico and South America farmed tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc... those all originate from the Americas. The natives in the north were more hunter gatherers so they relied mostly on roaming the land for food.
Know this area and its history well. All for it so long as it enriches everyone- not just specific tribal members. Just like society in general, there are well-off 1st Nation people and those who aren’t. And great to “restore” the land to its original state but only if makes sense- economically/environmentally.
I see the hand of Deb Haaland on this. Perhaps the Biden Administration in choosing a Native American woman to be Secretary of the Interior was a wise choice. I wonder who will be TRUMP's choice to head the agency? Or will TRUMP simple eliminate the Department of Interior?
Save the Redwoods league is a private nonprofit which has very successfully been buying private properties when they were put up for sale. Then they give the properties to large parks, usually to California State parks, and one National Park in the area, along the coast. They're an important and helpful player in the preservation of coastal Redwood habitat in CA, for over 20 years.
He said they paved paradise, and they sure did in many areas . When you have indigenous ancestors you always imagine what areas must have been like before they did all the destruction of it. It truly is a balance and that needs to be remembered when people get greedy and want to just take take take and not keep a resonable balance. 🙂✌️
Fascinating. Little by little, we see news of many indigenous tribes reclaiming everything that was taken from them ages ago. It’s only a matter of time before the Native people of the Americas from here to Argentina make a stand so strong that it’ll never be ignored. As a person who carries the bloodline of a mighty indigenous people myself, it gets my approval.
Beautiful area in Northern California is finally home with its stewards! Bravo 🤩 🤩 🤩!
Truly a great announcement for the people, the trees and the land being brought back together. Awesome story, 😊
Yes, and I am also hopeful for a new casino
This tribe regularly burned their land.
@@Highside713 they burn it to help it
@@Highside713 the old growth Redwoods have bark close to 2 foot thick. they're made to survive fire.

Tulare lake was drained because they thought it would be a good water source for Los Angeles
Nature is taking it back. When it rains it floods and no wall is going to stop that.
Didn’t it fill up last year because of the rain?
Tulare is shallow, and its banks were never consistant because they depended on the snowpack of the previous year. The size of Tulare always fluctuated.
Excellent story and a remarkable commitment to California's Indigenous People and the Redwoods!
This is truly good news. However it should be understood that 125 acres is a tiny, tiny fraction of what's been lost. We simply need to continue recovering while also Preserving!
Yes - this is a good start
Something similar is happening with the restoration of Big Basin Redwoods State Park following the CZU Lightning Complex fire of 2020.
The great redwood and Sequoia show scars from lighting storms. They're tough trees and can survive fire,drought, and lightning. Some of those scars are also the only lasting reminders of how strong storms have been and only a glimpse of what will come.

The indigenous peoples of Northern California have done a remarkable job which is evident when one visits the area.
SHOCKING! ... hard to believe anything being done in America resembles doing the right thing in integrity
Indeed! A rare thing. Trumpers will try to prevent things like this from happening
I'm in shock. Something being done right in America.
it happens quite a lot
Well, it is in California.
So we believe in the connection to the beauty of the land.

Respect 🫡💯
Outstanding partnership. Well over due. Looking forward to seeing the results in the future.
And not far away, the Washoe tribe is helping to manage the forests near Lake Tahoe. These are great developments.
Sounds good to me. These people definitely have respect for the lands.
It really is beautiful. The peace of nature came through in this report.
Native American Californian have always loved and been protectors of the land.
AS IT SHOULD BE. Hallelujah.

We still have dislocated natives segregated in reservations 😡
All Native Americans are US Citizens and can live anywhere they want to
@@kennethprola5136 Many of our Natives lived nomadic lifestyles for 1000s of years and were expected to take on the lifestyles of people who evolved on small islands. That's why ownership is so ingrained in some people's mentality.
125 acres is less than 1/2 a mile.
We need more of these partnerships ❤
I'm SOOO GLAD to hear this!
125 acres? Thats nothing! How about 1,250 square miles, just for starters. LANDBACK!
It's good news, but keep in mind 125 acres is next to nothing. Yosemite National Park alone has over 700,000 acres of land.
Yes give the land. Back but also fund them to rebuild and revitalize. Everything is gone extracted. Are their seeds? Are their food sources? Is there water? How will they rebuild it ? Please help them .

Orick California is home to ‘ Hyperion,’ a 375 ft. tall Sequoia Redwood. The Northern California coast is rugged and gorgeous. Don’t tell anyone.
I camped in Trinidad for 3 weeks and spent a lot of time riding in Orick. It’s magic
Patrick’s Point State Park is a gem. It’s 2 miles north of the town of Trinidad.
@@rayray4192 HEY ! excuse me ? IT"S SUMEG State park , finally took that killer's name off . And shhhhhhh!
Wonderful!!
I am glad, this is where the land needs to be, back in good hands!
Very close to Ladybird Johnson Grove.
I am so proud to be a Californian. This is beautiful and is a good start to righting the wrong that was done 2 centuries ago.
In truth no person owns any land

The cultures where everyone died before 40 or the ones that ate their neighbors?

Yes Yes Yes!!! TY🎉🎉🎉❤
Looks like patricks point park. Humboldt County
Thank you❤❤❤❤❤
GOD given but greed destroyed it...
Kinda like in the name of god it was taken .
God has nothing to do with it lol
Manifest Destiny, aka God, taketh away in the first place.
Aww yes, the all powerful magical sky daddy......
@gd2bking1 don't believe, soon you will...
🥰 This makes me SO happy! Back in the hands of people who know how to love, respect, and care for their environment.
It’s about time!!!Love it!!!!
Make casinos illegal again.
Start with digital gambling. It's a scam and all the money goes nowhere.
Returned to who? The tribe that held it before us or the tribe that held it before them?
Thks for great news❣️
Give all the land back to the native Americans. They can take much better care of it.👍🏽
You better be prepared to move IF you even own anything
Uh California has been contracted to manage the land…
Know any?
Great news 👍
Beautiful work 🎉❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just north of where I live. This is a monumental step toward restoration, and small partial reparation for Indigenous peoples.
Māori people have the saying Ka mua, ka muri (Walking backwards into the future). Look to the past to inform the future.
Wonderful 🎉God bless god 🙏
More of this needs to be done to keep and restore nature in all her beauty.
OMG congratulations
thank you! And it is absolutely the best to return it to the Indigenous Nations that was a really thought through decision 🙏💗
Wonderful!❤ I love this so much!
Yes sir happy for my brothers
Now that Trump will be in power, I wouldn’t trust his government to keep this land safe. I’m so glad he’s giving it back to native people ❤
This is a win
This is very special and historic
@renegade They said it is only about 100 acres they are giving them so that is a really small community of only a couple of streets.
Thank God and way past time! Looking forward to more good news for the indigenous people, the forrest and for us all!
This is excellent news. Thank you.
Fantastic news! Bravo!
Native Americans also farmed.
No they didn’t
@@wreackingball327 Yes the natives in Mexico and South America farmed tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc... those all originate from the Americas. The natives in the north were more hunter gatherers so they relied mostly on roaming the land for food.

Please Pray that Trump Policies don’t inhibit these Milestones!

Let’s preserve and save the land and after five years, we build a big casino
WHY? I wonder, is it cuz they can't make anymore money from it?

Little by little, things are being set right.
About time, get started now Cherokee, CHACKTAW lands in n.carolina
Also northern Alabama.
Wonderful, spectacular
Would love if all would pay attention to this story.. imagine
Misinformation disinformation
Decimate means to be reduced by 10%.
If only words took on colloquial meanings! Too bad language is permanently fixed in stone
125 acres is a drop in the bucket
Better than no drops
