From Next City: “The global #LandBack movement, with its powerful demand to go beyond claims of \u201cdecolonization\u201d and \u201creconciliation\u201d by returning land to the stewardship Indigenous people, may seem like a fantasy. But U.S. cities are beginning to act upon their values \u2013 and indeed, their promises of climate action \u2013 by working to return land to the Indigenous communities to whom it rightfully belongs.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n“In 2004 and 2009, the city of Eureka, California, returned hundreds of acres on Tuluwat Island to the Wiyot Tribe in two land transfers. And last fall, the city of Oakland, California, announced a plan to grant an easement over five acres to local Indigenous organizations: the Sogorea Te\u2019 Land Trust, the East Bay Ohlone tribe and the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation.”<\/p>\n
“In this session, we\u2019ll hear from organizers with the Sogorea Te\u2019 Land Trust about their work in Oakland, their model of land rematriation and their plans for the future. You\u2019ll learn about what the urban #LandBack movement looks like today, and how other cities and communities can engage in land rematriation.”<\/p>\n
